The Fortress Collectivist
You're a Grimsby left-winger who nationalises instinctively and defends without apology: strongly left on economy, education and personnel, unanimously left on parties, yet you'll vote for 3% of GDP on defence and against cutting it to fund welfare. This isn't confusion — it's a worldview where a strong Britain and a caring Britain are the same project, built on a workforce as protected as it is armed.
Last week you were the Welfare Hawk Socialist, defined almost entirely by that cap-and-cliff-edge streak. That tension hasn't vanished — you still voted against removing the supported housing benefit cliff edge — but this week's votes show the defence-first instinct hardening into something more coherent: less "socialist with a blind spot," more a builder-and-defender who wants growth, planning reform and hard power alongside the safety net.
You mostly ride with the national mood — siding with the majority in 16 of 21 recent votes, including the near-unanimous push on defence spending and planning reform. But you break away sharply on ID cards and the housing benefit cliff edge, where the country tilted one way and you dug in the other.
Cleethorpes and Grimsby usually back you up, and did so decisively on Farage's donations probe and the football-money vote — but split hard from you on ID cards, where your area went to zero yes against your own no, oddly agreeing with you by coincidence rather than conviction.
You've never voted on energy, technology, business or agriculture — odd gaps for someone this opinionated on planning and growth. Filling those in would tell us whether your industrial instincts are as consistent as your welfare ones.
Cast a few votes in those blind spots and we'll sharpen this further — every vote you make rewrites the read, and next week's profile will be truer for it.

You want a Britain where the state builds things again — nationalised utilities restored, financial power broken up, teachers paid properly, and the government owning its historic wrongs. But you draw a hard, almost puritanical line on welfare and justice, where you swing right while everyone around you stays left. This isn't muddle — it's a worldview with edges: collectivist on the economy, unsentimental on who deserves state support.
You side with the national majority more often than not, but your no on the two-child cap put you against 45% of the country who wanted it gone — you're more fiscally hawkish on welfare than your broader leftism would predict.
Grimsby and Cleethorpes split with you almost exactly as often as it agreed — your area voted unanimously no to rejoining the EU and you matched that, but diverged from you on teacher pay and the Hybrid Navy plan, where they leaned more sceptical than you.
You've never voted on business, energy, food, technology or culture — for someone this decided on the economy and education, that's a striking gap in the picture.
This is early days — 65 scored votes is a strong start, but every vote sharpens the read. Cast a few on energy or technology and we'll see if the welfare-hawk streak is a one-off or the real you.
