There has always been a need to change and adapt, so what's new. I spent my life constantly changing and adapting to new situations.

Changes in demand and technologies made the closure of coal mines inevitable, but the government of the day should have prepared better for it. It's like the local authority banning cars from the City. Nice fluffy idea - good for the green credentials - but it kills the City. What they should do is provide decent public transport first and then ban cars.

people will always get older and wiser - the young may well turn to Labour with idealistic naive dreams, but they will eventually be over 50 and far wiser. Old people dying is not the solution to your political wishes.https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/constituency-statistics-population-by-age/
There are demographic changes taking place. Look at Hartlepool it has a higher percentage of people over 50 than the national average. The young have been leaving these northern towns for opportunities in the cities. Broadly speaking as the cities have a younger population and the towns and rural areas have and older population they are voting along those lines- young for labour and old for Tory.
So these people who are older tend to own their homes and are more culturally conservative whilst the young tend to rent their homes and are culturally more liberal. The benefits system has cushioned many of these older voters with thei triple lock whilst the cuts to universal credit has impacted the younger voters more.
Now as we have a FPTP system and racking up votes in cities where labour is strong will not achieve them power anytime soon no matter how un woke they become.

But they stupidly fail to realise that they rely on the younger generations to provide for them in their old age as they themselves provided for their elders...Older yes, but people tend to become more socially conservative as they age. They are not worried about jobs as much as maintaining their wealth and accessing healthcare.

Younger than you probably.Do you know the average age of members of the Conservative Party?
A habit of yours ? Mind you, it's not just the young you resent, is it .sneering at the young, you mean.
