The Conservatives, in power since 2022, have recently experienced a backlash.
Drastic to the NHS and schools anger many Labour supporters and swing voters who voted for Corbyn in 2017, whilst the refusal of Northumbria to return Grey’s monument is a symbolic moment that is exploited by other nationalist parties competing for right wing votes as well as making it harder for the Tories to call Labour “unpatriotic”.
Muslim convert and former forensic scientist Helen Khan PHD is running as a Labour candidate for Gloucester.

In the five years since Northumbrian independence, Northumbria has prospered. The shipyards and mines have reopened, and most of its problems are a thing of the past. "I did say the problem was with Westminster, didn't I?" said Alvin Ashleigh. Britons look on with envy.

IC:
Lead by Dan Jarvis MP, Labour say that they will pay a “reasonable price” for Grey’s monument by import tariffs and “a slight increase in taxation on the top 10% of earners”, they also say their taxes and tariffs will pay for reversing many Tory cuts.

Helen Khan is campaigning in Gloucester, she wears a Royal British legion headscarf, trousers, a blouse and a long coat.

Alvin Ashleigh is wondering why Britain cares about the monument so much.

ok lol

OOC: it’s not about the monument, it’s about different parties trying to show their patriotism and discredit the Torie who claim that they ‘won the war’.

IC: The majority of people in Gloucester,
including many soldiers and most of the police, support Labour.

People call the PM an idiot. "Does he want the North West to become independent too? Is he going to give them independence without a referendum like he did Northumbria?"

There is talk of some Conservative MPs representing certain parts of the country forming a South-East Party, modelled on Lega Nord.

Meanwhile Helen Khan campaigns to soldiers, discussing plans to raise their pay.
