Sarah Southern worked for the Conservative Party for many years and helped get them elected in 2010. But nine years on, is she still true blue? This is a tale of elections, campaigning, Prime Ministers, Linda at the Job Centre, negative equity, referendums and why David Cameron keeps appearing in her dreams. In a time of political turmoil, Sarah questions her political identity and whether she really is still a Tory in 2019.
