18 year olds, if the Tories are returned to power, you will not have to do national service, but your younger brothers, sisters, cousins and friends will. The Tories do not have your interests at heart, nor those of your parents or grandparents. Make sure you vote, register to vote, and get voter ID

The Prime Minister can produce all the charts he wants - it won’t change the fact we now have millions living in poverty, destitution & using foodbanks & crumbling schools & hospitals. It’s time to put this Government where it belongs - in the BIN!

Bernard Hill, RIP. Anyone who was alive and watching tv in the 1980s will never forget his astonishing portrayal of Yosser Hughes in Boys From The Blackstuff, a man driven literally demented by unemployment, dragging his two kids behind him as he trudged around Liverpool looking for work.

Keir Starmer: "Tragically, Britain is now the victim of a zombie government, stuck in purgatory with a prime minister who won't call an election he fears he'll lose, but can't give this country the change it deserves.

Dragging this out longer will only cause more damage, decline and drift."

“Investment. Essential for productivity growth, public & business investment flatlined after the #Brexit vote & has failed to keep pace with the rest of Europe…on present evidence it will be 32 per cent lower by 2035 than if the UK had stayed in the EU.”
