SOME people — although not, I suspect, many who, like you, read and subscribe to the Morning Star — say, “We should keep politics out of… sport, education, whatever.” You know the sort of thing. It’s not possible, of course. Because everything in life that affects us — individually and collectively — is political.
That’s why this general election is so important. The way we vote — individually and collectively — is going to affect each of us, in every aspect of our lives, over the next five years.
And we cannot afford — emotionally, intellectually, financially — another five years of Conservative chaos. Britain deserves better. Much better than anything the Tories — who have targeted workers, as the Morning Star has reported every day for the past 14 years — can or ever will offer.
