It’s extraordinary to think that John Major is in the same party as Kemi Badenoch. It’s worth remembering that in 1990, Major was a Tory consensus candidate between the One Nation “Wets” and the Thatcherite “Dries”. Today, he sounds more culturally liberal than many leading Labour politicians.

So "family voting" was made a criminal offence in the Ballot Secrecy Act 2023 via a Private Member's Bill based on a report by.. Democracy Volunteers, and now the only group claiming to have seen "widespread family voting" in Gorton (without reporting it to police) is... Democracy Volunteers. Right.
