Things are not all bad right now is what I'm saying; things are almost good... like the communities coming out to rebuild mosques, and mobilising to defend their streets from far-right rioters... It makes me feel hopeful, which then makes me feel terrified.
The polling found that only 31% of voters were optimistic about the country before the election, with 43% actively pessimistic. After Labour got in, sentiment flipped, with 45% now optimistic about the country. And while this new government is far from perfect, their speed in confirming the NHS workers, teachers, and junior doctors' pay rises feels straightforward, and positive.
At home, too, a slow breeze of optimism has entered my family's houses.
