    I don’t know to be honest. If they are going to stop her running for Labour at least have the decency to tell her so she can either choose to step down, or run as an independent. I imagine she’d do well if she ran on her own, whether it’s enough to take the seat I don’t know. If Starmer can’t...

    Only to supposedly bar her from standing. What a way to treat the first black female MP.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The housing ‘ladder’ as you describe it is virtually inaccessible for a lot of young people. Given the cost to just get a house, never mind the associated costs to ‘trade up’ I think young people can be forgiven for holding out to get what they need in their one chance to get a house, should...

    I think I actually give even less of a fuck about the play-off final that follows the day after.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s the notion of not changing Tory policies, for example not removing the 2 child benefit cap, which would lift hundreds of thousands of kids out of poverty instantly.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Somewhere between 2016 and 2019 it was reasonably accepted that Austerity was a political decision to make life harder for those with the least, whilst money transferred to the richest among us. Rather than continue that narrative and unequivocally say we won’t ever go back there, Starmer...
