You want power and money pulled out of London and dropped into Manchester, Wigan, the North West generally — public ownership of utilities, protection for steel and car jobs, scepticism of billionaires hoarding wealth — but you pair it with a surprisingly hawkish streak on hardware: more defence spending, the Global Combat Air Programme, continued backing for Ukraine. This is Burnham-country social democracy with a rearmament budget attached.

You broke from the national majority on almost half these votes — reindustrialisation, the transatlantic relationship, North Sea drilling — usually pulling further left than the country while still voting yes to defence spending most Brits also backed; you're not a contrarian, you're just less impressed by nostalgia and more impressed by steel.

Your area voted with you almost everywhere — oil drilling, ZEV mandate, the £13.5bn defence plan, asylum appeals — suggesting you're less an outlier in Wigan than a fairly faithful echo of it, which makes the one local disagreement (the transatlantic relationship, where you and your neighbours split) worth noticing.

Nineteen scored votes and not one has touched education, justice, transport or the constitution — a big, undecided hole sitting underneath a profile that otherwise reads clearly left with a hard edge on defence.

This is a first sketch built on real signal but still thin in places — cast a few votes on justice or education and the picture stops being an outline and starts being a portrait; every vote from here sharpens it.
