Why do we cast our votes? Why do we choose one party over others? Because we want something better for ourselves and our country. The Tories were booted out in the last election because voters, including many lifelong Conservatives, were disillusioned. Instead of improving their lives or uplifting the nation, the Government had become hubristic, careless and mendacious. All it wanted was to hang on to power.

Israel is mounting an offensive to take over parts of Gaza. Millions of Britons of all ethnicities and faiths feel angry and dismayed. This feels similar to the build-up to the illegitimate Iraq War. All that we conscientious citizens can do is march, or speak out in public spaces, and cry in private.

I gave birth to my daughter when I was 43, a miracle of sorts. After two miscarriages, we had lost hope. I was too old, the doctor said. Then she came, one sunny April, on an Easter Sunday. There were moments of medical panic, but there she was, in my arms, and both her dad and me flooded with relief and indescribable joy. I can still feel her in my arms, hear her gurgles and cries. Albums with her pictures are in a cupboard. We look at them often.

Another day, and the nation is still obsessing over Nigel Farage. The media is the wind beneath his wings; the two main parties are toppling, flapping helplessly while Reform projects itself as a redeemer and a government in waiting. The Lib Dems won many resounding victories and the Greens doubled their number of councillors, but the election story is all and only about Farage and Reform UK. For years now, the upstart party has built up popularity without being properly scrutinised.

My 7-year-old grandson went through an hour and a half with me explaining football. A to Z. With practical demos, diagrams, and a quiz at the end. I think I am getting it. Paid £3 for the excellent lesson.
