'They squabble whilst we suffer' - Mr Simple Politics himself: Tatton Spiller returns for another emergency chinwag ahead of the deadline to Register to Vote in the UK Local Elections; fast approaching on Monday 20 April 2026... BUT WHAT'S THE POINT?!!

Politician's broken promises and 'squabbling' and all of the polarising noise can make voting feel pointless. If you feel disempowered, overwhelmed or just plain over it YOU ARE NOT ALONE and this episode is for you!

If you 'don't do politics' or you know anyone who says they're 'not political' - this episode is for you/them.

Because as we stated in our previous episode back in '24 - and to quote the wise words of Skunk Anansie's, Skin: EVERYTHING'S POLITICAL!

Your voice matters... and as the legendary Tatton simply says: 'people who vote get stuff.'

USEFUL LINKS for the Local Elections:
