Emma Barnett totally destroying Nigel Evans this morning. Won’t happen of course, but i would love to see her moderating the rest of the debates. Or interviewing Johnson, that would be good. They should tell him it’s going to be Laura K, then when he’s sat down and ready to go, switch her at the last minute. He would shit himself.

Didn’t he say the other day that he wasn’t going to do this (to the CBI if I recall)

Amusing write-up of the Lib-Dems’ manifesto launch from John Crace.

As others have pointed out, it really does seem that Jo Swinson grates more and more on people the more they see of her. Quite what their campaign team were thinking of when they did that whole “Jo Swinson’s Liberal Democrats” thing is anybody’s guess. After all, they only had to look back a couple of years to see how that tactic worked out for Theresa May.

Labour Manifesto:

How do we feel about this?

  • Old enough to pay tax, fight in wars (true?) so old enough to vote
  • I know what I was like at 16 so they should keep their X to themselves

0 voters

Point of order - 16 yr old are kept away from the front line.

I was a very political 16/17 year old and active as a young union member. I remember having debates with socialist worker party people and a 40 year old tory who had lost everything in the 90s crash. Yeah I was v annoying.

Since starting on my current career path I’ve not had the chance to be as involved as I’d like plus I’ve just not got the energy these days (beaten down by all those cuts to services and having more work).

Anyway catch them whilst young. If not already in curriculum there should be discussion about voting and its importance.

Yep - hence my (true?) rider.

I think you are rare in your interest in politics at that age. I reckon the majority aren’t

At 16 most young lads are more interested in wanking and fortnite, than what Jezza and Boris have to say

I see the four day week is there (without loss of earnings) to be funded by an uptick in productivity.

Now I appreciate that I am a cynic, but as a business owner, if there was a way of getting a 25% uptick in productivity I would have found it by now.

4 new bank holidays as well

And raising minimum holiday entitlement

Is anyone go to actually do any work?

So make it interesting and relevant in our education system so they can be interested in that and their other extra curricular activities.

You will have to go some to make it more interesting than wanking to a 16yr old - maybe put boobs in the text book every other page
