    Montserrat in the Caribbean. Visited multiple times as a kid after the volcano as I had family working there in regeneration projects. Beautiful place, beautiful people, wouldove to see it again as an adult and see how it’s changed now.

    We went on a highly illegal and potentially dangerous trip (if the volcano went off again, by the time we heard it, it would be too late to escape) to see the old airport from where you can see directly up the volcano and the path the pyroclastic flow took and covered the terminal building which was half buried in the dust.

    There were wild horses roaming and nature was already starting to reclaim the place so the intervening 30 years probably have accelerated that and I’d love to see it.

    With the recent lurch to the right in this country, Labour sees becoming the conservatives as the key to election success, hence this current government essentially becoming David Camerons government. The tories have become reform and most bizzarely of all, with the exception of immigration, reform have pivoted so far round as to essentially have the same policy platform as the green party as a way to differentiate themselves from Badenoch and the tories.

    Cutting winter fuel and cutting welfare and increasing defence spending and now cutting foreign NHS staff are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to new tory Labour policy.
