The Two Nations

[Westmonkwick]

Following the 2017 general election, Britain was governed by a Labour government with Jeremy Corbyn as the Prime Minister, however, many of his views alienate the people of Northumbria (North East England) to the extent that in 2022, the majority of them in almost all their constituencies are voting for the Northumbrian Nationalist Party of Alvin Ashleigh.

Why would “IQ 58” be more realistic for the police commissioner? is it because he’s from Yorkshire?
