Ed has experience of having to care for others (his mother and son) he understands more so than other MPs how NHS and Social Services need funding and to work together. David Cameron had a seriously disabled son but he appeared to lack empathy with others who have family in the same situation. I vaguely remember that when his son died - he thanked the NHS for the care given to the family. Gordon Brown, I believe is another very genuine person - and fully committed to improving lives of families. His daughter died shortly after birth and one of his sons was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. I far rather trust Ed and Lib Dems than I would Reform or Tories. I have known a few MPs of different political persuasions, met with them, been canvassing etc over many years and those who stand out for me are Paddy Ashdown, Susan Kramer, Tessa Jowell, Helen Hayes . -

I've just had Oddbods Handy Services (Iain and Paul) come and sort out some fiddly repair work to a water tank cupboard in our house. They were punctual, professional in their approach, courteous and tidy upon finishing the job. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a handyman and peace of mind knowing they will do a good job. Thanks guys. -
Of course as these places revive, for the reasons you correctly state, there is no shortage of people moaning “just what we need. Another coffee shop or bar!” and of course there are limits. But social spaces are the future of revived town centres as much as or more than traditional retail Face to face shopping is important and a good thing but landlords are not going to swallow the lower rents that are required to revive retail in town centres shopkeeers don’t help themselves either sometimes. Yer famous butcher in Dulwich spent more time complaining about congestion charge in Kennington instead of saying how that led to his business booming in Dulwich On the other hand again look what happened when his butcher shop took off in lordship lane. Other people started moaning about the queues!! Successful business!!! Boo hiss sometimes I do wonder if the “left behind” find themselves in that position not because of govt policy or newcomers but because they will never be happy and become pains in the hole which business and other people avoid
