Sikandar Khan shrugs it off and begins walking to Benfield School to canvas teachers and sixth-form students (as the voting age was lowered to 16 in 2013). He is expecting to be able to convince most of the students and believes the staff already support him.

The students boo him.

IC: He says, "I'm not here to talk, particularly, I'm here mostly to listen, so what do you think should change about the things the government does? What do you think should be changed in education?"

"Why should I resign?" Sikandar Khan asked them, he wanted to find out what these people's problem was so he could win votes for his party, improve their situation and, most importantly, reduce far-right or communist radicalisation.

"The Blairite goal of having 50% of the population go to university has divided future generations into two roughly-equal groups of haves and have nots. Those who go are successes, those who don't are failures. New Labour has completely abandoned the people the party was founded to represent for the affluent middle classes. Vote Ashleigh, free Northumbria."

They get their drinks, but the pub's atmosphere is very much unwelcoming. The locals - and this is a very local, very regular pub- do not appreciate their presence and would like it if they left and left quickly.

"Thank you for intelligent feedback.I'll do more to establish good quality apprenticeships, I want to educate the population so that at least 85% of the population can take part in a high-skill economy" he said, he then left to go to Byker

OOC: Byker and Walker are literally right next to one another there are no trains between them and the only trains in the area don't have "economy class" Azad

"I'm here for three reasons, 1.because previous governments have failed our Northerners and I want them to know I'm different, 2. They haven't been listened to and I want to listen to them now and 3. Our boys are going through hell and I'd like to show them support as well." said Sikandar Khan

Meanwhile the soldiers at The Stag's Head drink their beer and discuss football.

This is not something the prime minister should have said, especially with the Sedgefield Ball Game tomorrow where the legacy of Blair will be celebrated with the man himself in attendance. It is an admission that New Labour has "failed Northerners", and given that he has been prime minister for years it will lead to "and that's why we should support Ashleigh" and not "he's different".

"'Going through hell'? Are you saying that this area is hell, prime minister?"

"No, I'm saying the treatment, the soldiers are going through is hell. People in this area seem remarkably intelligent, their continued low incomes implies a fault in the system which shall be repaired by the increase in high-quality apprenticeships." he says, before ending with the joke "If they were geographically in hell they would be stationed in Swindon".
