You want a Britain that spends to close the gap — child benefit up, childcare extended, inequality treated as democracy's enemy — but you're no soft touch for left-wing rhetoric that doesn't survive contact with detail, as Burnham's "good growth" pitch found out.

You mostly ride with the country — you were with the majority on 7 of 10 votes, backing Gibraltar's Schengen deal and compulsory voting alongside most of Britain — but on Burnham's growth plan you joined the sceptical majority for once, and on child benefit you sat with a minority that the rest of the country wasn't ready to fund.

Your local area is a near-perfect echo of you — unanimous or near-unanimous on almost every vote you've both weighed in on — which makes you less an outlier than a fairly exact read of the room you live in.

Ten votes and not one on immigration, health, housing, defence or the economy proper — this is a welfare-and-rights profile with almost the whole of governance still unwritten.

Seven scored votes is a sketch, not a portrait — vote on tax, immigration or health and the picture stops being "clearly left" and starts being *your* left, specifically. We'll be here each week refining it as you go.
