The Welfare Realist

Who you are

You're a fiscal disciplinarian at heart — welfare emergency brakes, tighter thresholds, no housing-benefit cliff-edge softening — but that instinct stops sharply at the economy's edge, where you back public control of Thames Water and steel safeguards. This is a Britain that demands people work for what they get, while keeping the essentials out of private hands.

Vs Britain

You split almost exactly down the middle with the country — agreeing on barely half the votes with data — which is rare for someone this decided. You broke hard from the national mood on rewilding beavers (the nation loved it, 83% yes; you didn't) and on Andy Burnham's Whitehall power grab, where Britain leaned yes and you leaned no.

On your patch

Grimsby and Cleethorpes runs noticeably more sceptical of Burnham than you'd expect even from you — only 20% think he'd make an effective PM, and you agreed. But your area split from you on electrification, going firmly against acceleration while you did too, actually — one of your rare local alignments in a mostly split record.

Blind spots

You've never voted on justice, culture or immigration policy beyond one ILR test — striking for someone this fluent on welfare and education. Crime, food, science, agriculture: all untouched. Fill these in and the welfare-realist backbone will get a face.

What's next

This is early days — 35 scored votes is a real foundation but not the full picture. Every vote you cast from here sharpens this profile; come back next week and we'll show you exactly how you've moved.
