    Fair point. It would be harsh on the homeless rough sleepers.

    The reason I voted for and support Corbyn’s party is because for the first time, it felt like young people were being listened to.

    I have just turned 26. In my parents generation, people at that age started thinking about (if they hadn’t already) buying a house and having a family.

    There is no way that could’ve even crossed my mind before 35, if ever, if I was still in the UK. It still hasn’t here in the heart of Trumpland but at least 30 sounds feasible now.

    Instead, I and others can’t make plans for our futures. We are in thousands of pounds worth of debt to for-profit education establishments. I don’t want that wiped for myself but I don’t want anyone else to have to go through it because it’s bloody awful.


    This point always winds me up, I’m 24, I own my own property and have my own business. I done it all with no hand outs. Just hard work and hard saving. It wasn’t that hard after a while, get yourself a good mortgage broker and you’ll see that you don’t actually need that much money in the grand scheme of things to get on the property ladder. It’s not the governments issue that you and many others chose to riddle yourselves with debt for extra education, why shouldn’t it cost you money?

    I voted Tory but until May is gone and they give themselves a good sort out I won’t vote for them again. I however also couldn’t ever vote for Corbyn, but do believe he absolutely walks a general election at this moment in time.
    You voted Tory? Bet the old man loved you for that!

    Jokes aside, cracking post.

    Been critical of the labour party for not dealing with the antisemitism in the party so have to say "well done" for suspending this labour party OFFICIAL (sorry, article doesn't give his membership number) after only two years when the Sunday Times sent them a dossier of his vile tweets.

    I'm sure he'll be expelled ASAP let of with a warning and some training

    Aren't you being a little disingenuous Henry? I can see nothing in the articles that suggests that the Times 'dossier' has been with the Labour Party for "two years" but seems to have just been given to the Party (which must be the case as one of the Times' pieces mentions "Another of his posts, on September 27 this year").

    Unless you're suggesting that the Labour Party should maintain some sort of permanent 'Cyber Stasi' unit to monitor members' social media accounts I'm not sure what else it could do except, as it has in this case, suspend Yasim from membership pending formal discipline procedures.

    Our docile population have lost the art of protest. The unions have been diminished in law by right wing powers determined to retain power at all costs.

    Genuinely pleased for you but your story is now the exception rather than the norm that it was 20-30 years ago. Just because you’ve managed it doesn’t shatter the reality for many many other people our age.

    Thanks for the reminder of the ugly Uni debt I have hanging over me that I didn’t even need to get my current job anyway... lol at least it looks nice on my CV and I can say I did it, I suppose.

    Well in all seriousness she couldn’t possibly do any worse at The Home Office than Theresa May did.

    May won the confidence vote and thus looks stronger - her ratings therefore improve. Doesn't change the fact that her Withdrawal Agreement is struggling in the polls and will be buried when she finally puts it to Parliament. Labour are for the moment locked into attacking the WA and appearing to back other vague options.

    Unless you're suggesting that Labour should abandon their Brexit policy and make some glib populist assertions, what else are they to do whilst May stalls? Through your obsessive posts about Corbyn it actually looks like you want May to win through with her approach to Brexit - is this wrong?

    I think that most people see through Corbyn's, and to a lesser extent Labour's shameless attempt to hold a general election at any cost. Although I completely disagree with it, I would understand a second referendum campaign from them, but no, they want a general election and May should "move out the way for someone who can negotiate" which is complete bollocks.

    Shock, horror, opposition wanting an election when government goes into meltdown! If May would get this vote out of the way, we would be on course to the second referendum sooner!

    So it's out of the realms of possibility that Diane 'Carol Vorderman' Abbott could do worse than Theresa May?

    I’m starting to think May has actually played a blinder, albeit not necessarily intentionally. The longer this process drags on, it’s beginning to look more likely the EU and the Euro are going to go into a meltdown. We could step in and propose a new type of EU to sort it out, a sort of common market...beats me why we didn’t just sign up for that in the first place,..

    No, she definitely could. I completely and utterly disagree with so much of what May did in the Home Office, but she... well, she did it somewhat effectively.

    One improvement is that Abbott does not seem to have the 'hostile environment' kind of mindset that an evil Tory like May has.

    She'd also bring a fresh racist mindset to the role which, it would seem, is okay if it's a Labour politician.

    It's a funny old world.
