But what an amazing transformative PM she would have been. She'd probably be on the pyramid stage at some point this weekend in front of her adoring fans.

 

Ye transformative.. Liz Truss with a red rosette.

How lame do you have to be to invent a story like that just to crowbar this abysmal condom/nondom gag you came up with into an interview. Bad gimp that fella

They'd be singing Liz Kendal Liz Kendal Liz Kendal to the tune of Engerland Engerland Engerland.

Labour will be judged by what they do in power and not whats written in a manifesto. I guess at this point the strategy is not do anything to upset anyone and let the Tory’s kill  themselves.

plus, there is a change to house of lords...age limit of 80...something I disagree with.

I think 16 year olds today are (in general) more tolerant and politically aware than when I was young. My 14 year old told me she is voting against Rishi because he wants to shorten school holidays and take away their smartphone , but I am working on her!

 

I think voting age is quite subjective and 16 seems fine to me. I also think it’s fine to do it purely for political gain, no different to the Torys and voter ID.

I am ok with 16 year olds voting too. It is their future after all. I imagine turnout amongst them would be low, but doesn't mean they shouldn't be given the right to vote. Yes they won't have the same life experience as older voters, but they will likely be a lot better educated than many of them. At same time I do understand why some people are against it, because on the whole 16 year olds are c**ts. I was a massive c**t when I was 16, but by the time I was 18 I was very cool.

It will be my kid's first general election vote. She'll be voting Reform and I'll be voting Green...as it should be.

[steviewevie]

Reform voters going to lib dems... naturally.
