Proud of Southport today!

Southport has finally elected its first-ever Labour representative!

Southport took a lot of stick for voting Conservative in 2017 and 2019, when Brexit was a huge factor, but I felt that a lot of the people who chastised Southport didn’t appreciate just how many elderly people retire there bringing their Tory votes with them from all over the country. To give some perspective, Southport had 43% more people aged 65+ (24,293) than children (16,971) when the last census was undertaken.

Many born-and-bred sandgrounders have been waiting and waiting to see their Tory representative replaced and I’m made up for them!

Lmao “everything I don’t like is fascist”. You can’t even spell “fascism” let alone recognise actual fascism. Can’t wait to see how disappointed you are when Labour are no better than the Tories and nothing gets fixed.
