You want a Britain that spends on teachers and on tanks in the same breath — a state generous enough to cap insurance payouts for the rich and fund a 3.5% teacher pay rise, but hard-nosed enough to back an £80bn defence budget and a Hybrid Navy without flinching. It's not confusion, it's a worldview: protect people at home, arm the country abroad.

You split almost exactly down the middle with the national mood — agreeing on beavers and billionaires, breaking hard from it on tougher sentencing for foreign criminals (you voted no while most of Britain said yes) and on the state apology for forced adoptions. You're not a contrarian by temperament; you just don't outsource your view to the crowd.

Grimsby and Cleethorpes voted overwhelmingly to scrap the triple lock and clear the housing benefit cliff edge — you went along on the pension shift but broke sharply from your neighbours on housing, siding left when 70% locally wanted the tougher route. On the Union's fitness for purpose your area said an emphatic no; you agreed, for once fully in step with home.

You've never voted on health, employment, business, or technology — a striking gap for a self-employed man whose politics elsewhere lean so firmly toward work and welfare. Fill that in and this profile stops guessing at the economy category, which right now sits genuinely undecided.

This is early days by our count — forty scored votes is a real record, not a sketch, but the picture sharpens with every vote you cast. Vote on health or business next and we'll tell you, next week, whether the guns-and-classrooms Britain you're building holds together under money pressure.
