Let& #39;s take this as face value: & #39;reporting involves reporting what people say& #39;.

What people? How did you find them? How did you choose them? How did you decide who gets a voice? https://twitter.com/helenpidd/status/1280972824463781898">https://twitter.com/helenpidd...

Labour lost Leigh by fewer than 2000 votes (recording 19k+) yet your 800 word article includes interviews with four people displaying cultural and economic anxiety - and expressing this through support for the Tories.

Where are the voices of those critical of the past 10 years of Tory rule?

If you can& #39;t find one in Leigh then I will suggest, with the greatest of respect, you weren& #39;t looking very far.

The idea that journalism is some neutral and objective account of contemporary events and society has to be the biggest bag of baloney and it& #39;s not one that you should be peddling in the public sphere if you want to be taken seriously.

Other than that, a cracking job by @helenpidd in furthering Leigh& #39;s reputation as a hotbed of reactionary conservatism... sorry, legitimate concerns.
