You know the feeling. Something you have wanted for so long, that has driven you and been consuming. You’ve invested your time, your energy and your commitment. You hoped your feelings would be reciprocated. At first, you thought they were. What you wanted, they wanted and the early signs were promising.
But then, a few years in, the warning signs started to appear. They stopped listening to everything you were saying. Things you wanted you were told you couldn’t have. Then, you start to think they are actually not interested in you at all and you realise you’ve been used.
You discover the things they’ve given you were bought with other people’s money. You feel betrayed and you resolve to end it, never able to trust them again.
Yes, that’s exactly how thousands of people in Salford feel this Valentine’s Day as they end their 13 year relationship with New Labour. Fallen out of love with Labour this Valentine’s day? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
