The Defence-First Taxman
You want a Britain that spends hard on its own defence, keeps its institutions lean and unsentimental, and doesn't flinch from planning reform or NHS overhaul if it means outcomes over ideology — but you also think the Treasury should be chasing every pound owed by banks and big companies before it touches anyone else's pocket.
You're mostly in step with the country — you sided with the national majority on 23 of 30 scored votes, backing the 3% and 3.5% GDP defence pushes, NATO pressure, and NHS reform right alongside everyone else. Where you break is telling: you were one of a minority to say no to banning extremist parties, and you flatly rejected re-joining the EU while much of the country still wavers.
Grimsby and Cleethorpes reads even more decisively than you on some of this — unanimous on abolishing the GLA, unanimous against EU rejoining, near-unanimous for defence spending — and you track it closely, though your area was far cooler than you on national housebuilding for social rent, where you voted no and they went further still into rejection.
You've never voted on immigration — a striking gap for someone this settled on defence, foreign policy and governance, the three legs your whole profile stands on.
This is a clear early shape, not a finished picture — cast a vote on immigration or culture and the throughline sharpens fast, and we'll rebuild this read fresh next week as you do.
