Biography
Jo is 49, the cook at a care home in Stoke-on-Trent. Her father worked in the potbanks until they closed. She is divorced, has two grown sons and one grandchild, and does a second shift on weekends. She voted Labour for most of her life, voted Leave in 2016, and has voted for three different parties since. Half the carers she cooks for came from abroad, and she would defend any of them in a heartbeat. She also thinks the numbers have been too high for years, and that nobody in Westminster has lived on a care-home wage.
Worldview
Cross-pressured Red Wall independent; public ownership and a living wage, lower immigration and order, no patience for culture-war rows.
