1⃣ Focus on wellbeing, not GDP
We need an inclusive economy in which greater consideration is given to the social benefits that flow from, and feed into, economic activity, as @nmcinroy and @DavidB_CLES wrote, back in 2018 👉ow.ly/2pVI50EHinF

Northamptonshire was once made up of eight local authorities that had various responsibilities to deliver statutory services.
1. Northamptonshire County Council
Responsible for libraries, highways, education, health, social/children’s services, recycling centres, country parks

Combined weighted national polling from the month before #LE2016 & #LE2017:
CON: 42.0%
LAB: 29.5%
UKIP: 10.3%
LDM: 8.5%
GRN: 3.3%
So by my calculations, LAB need to be within 12.5% of CON in national polling to have a net swing of seats to them in #LE2021.

February 2021 Polling:
CON: 41.6% (-0.4)
LAB: 37.6% (+8.1)
LDM: 6.6% (-1.9)
GRN: 6.3% (+3.0)
RFM: 1.7% (NEW)
Changes w/ 2016-17 combined estimate.
Easy to see how even on a disappointing night for LAB, there should be a fair old swing to them in terms of seats.
