It’s got all the hallmarks of a goer TBF.

I get it. There’s plenty of things that sort of treat 16 year olds as adults. Marriage, sex, national insurance, the care system I think says you can live on your own. But the trend has been to raise things to 18: smoking, education etc. The age of majority is 18 still and IMO we’re more...

If she earned enough she’d pay that too. It’s only NI that starts at 16

Farage having a meltdown.

No 16 year old is working full time. They have to be in at least some education. Everyone pays taxes, even my 9 year old. There’s no lower age limit.

Not a fan myself and I do suspect Labour wouldn’t be pushing for it if 16/17 year olds were all massive Tories. I’d much rather we rationalised everything else (driving, marriage, school leaving, etc) to 18 than the other way.

As solid an argument against the policy as you’ll find

22 year told DM, New Zealand international Cynic in me says Sheaf is off

And what makes you think that’s because of the number of houses?

A foreign news website claiming we’ve signed someone?

My main concern is the economy TBH. We’ve been stagnant since 2008. I’m a techno optimist at heart. I want a high skilled workforce and an economy that encourages innovation. I think housing and infrastructure are holding us back and making us poorer and if we solved them a lot of the problems...

Even Mr Anti-immigration can’t answer who he’d stop coming in so don’t feel bad Mucca

And a lot of them are. There’s absolutely loads of land and we basically have one large city. We could increase density in London alone by a couple of million

Also as for “we can’t build fast enough!!” This is the UK population over the last 150 years or so, it’s basically linear. We’ve handled it before and could again.

Fact is large amounts of it are students and those students pay for our students. Another large chunk are healthcare workers. The idea you can cut immigration significantly and not pay huge costs elsewhere is a fantasy. Do we put up student fees? Pay even more for care? Personally I’d be...
