Welcome to The Fête of Britain

It’s 2029. The General Election is a week away. And the UK feels strangely hopeful.

For four years, something’s been building. Quietly at first, then everywhere at once: a new cultural wave has swept the nation and hit home just at the right time. People are buzzing, inspired, connected. There’s a sense that, whatever happens next, people aren’t waiting to be saved anymore.

This wave doesn’t look like stiff suits or shouting heads on TV. It isn’t a bunch of hollow slogans driven by fear and factionalism. This is something else entirely.
