Here’s living proof of what This Writer has been saying – and immortalised in a YouTube video – because there’s a Labour politician you can still support if you live in Norwich South.
Yes, I have been calling on people in the UK to vote for Independent or smaller party candidates on the left of the political spectrum if possible, because Labour is now a right-wing party and its leader, Keir Starmer, has reneged on all the pledges he made that would have introduced left-wing policies.

In Norwich North, that is likely to be a Labour candidate – because Clive Lewis has been an outstanding MP.

Earlier this year, he said the public should not have to pay for work to de-carbonise the National Grid, after it made £4.5 billion in profits in a single year.
In 2017, after Labour lost the Copeland by-election, he warned that the party’s woes at the time were not the fault of then-leader Jeremy Corbyn – and was proved right later in the year when Mr Corbyn destroyed the Tories’ then-huge poll lead in a general election campaign that he would have won if he had received another 2,200-odd votes in swing constituencies from which his right-wing party opponents had removed funding.
Earlier he had quit his role as shadow business secretary because he could not support a three-line whip from Mr Corbyn, demanding that Labour support the triggering of Article 50 and withdrawal from the European Union, in a principled move.
Those are just a few of the matters that come to mind when considering Mr Lewis’s career.
