I can now see the wisdom of several colleagues of mine, who, amongst others, joined the labour party back in 2015 in order to vote Corbyn into power: they were, of course, died in the wool blues. Best £ 50 they spent.
I can officially get a pension in June 2021, but will probably defer the benefit for a few years
