I've always voted Labour.
But honestly, I'm just so disillusioned to how Storm has gone against the working class and the British people that there's no excuse for him being like that.

The next day I was back in London to meet Reforms MP for Runcorn and Helsby, Sarah Pochin, who knows exactly how much every single vote matters after winning her seat last year by just six votes.
As it builds towards polling day in that by-election, what should the candidate be feeling, experiencing on the doorstep?
Is there a change?
Is there a momentum that you kind of feel like you're getting into like a flow or a zone?
What's your take on the fact that Andy, this guy, stood down to give him potentially a seat to then challenge the Labour leader at the moment, Keir Starmer?

The following afternoon, we were back out canvassing in Hindley Green when the news came through.

How long have you been a plumber for then, Rob?
