The NIP The Party We Deserve And Need
Have you heard of this hot new party annoying all of the worst people on the internet? The Northern Independence Party may seem like a joke, but there's a serious issue at the heart of what they're trying to do. The North-South divide in England was put into stark relief with the Covid-19 pandemic and the abdication of radical politics by the nominally left-of-centre opposition party in the UK has left a gap open for a party that takes up these issues. However, the NIP's absurdity has allowed it to do something a minor party, adopting a fringe position may otherwise be unable to do, they've gained attention from mainstream outlets and have recieved a furious backlash from Labour MPs which has only driven engagement with the party.
How did this happen? Why now? and might they be able to pull off a shock upset in the Hartlepool by-election where former Labour MP Thelma Walker is their candidate? Find out in this video!
