To be glad we are finally getting an election

I think you don't understand political journalism. It was Sophie Ridge interviewing Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader. She was trying to goad him, which is basically her job, and I agree he didn't come out of it particularly impressively. But she didn't say she'd seen the Labour manifesto and that it was "a copy of" the Conservative one, because, as you've been told by several people now, neither of them have been published yet.

You don't think we've been Robbed because I do! Yes they've lost some pension but don't feel to sorry for them. They had fully funded higher education and the right to buy! We're paying a pension were never going to see!!! That's real robbery, we can only afford to buy half a house!! They are all sat there with tripple locked pensions, pension credit and houses they fully own!

I'll be lucky to see a pension too! I was referring to people who at the time had paid in for years only to be screwed by labour.

It's like leaving someone in a good position financially, then over the years they not only spend all the money, max out the credit cards, spend all the money under the mattress and raided the jewellery box too! So when the shit hits the fan, i.e., a global crash, there's no buffer whatsoever.

My fear is they'll tax the shit out of us and we still won't see much tangible improvement (not that I'm a Tory fan either).

My brother was able to buy a house with 0 deposit under Tony Blair, a house he still owns. So whilst 100% mortgages caused the nightmare and bankers betting with money the bank didnt have. At least he made it through and has an asset and decent retirement. I mean while am stuck renting with a private pension that I can't claim until I'm 68 probably more by the time I do and when I do claim it, it will all go on rent! So I'll be In pensioner poverty! What joy I have to look forward too

Sorry but I think you have unrealistic hopes of what Labour will do. I fear many are going to be disappointed.

(Not defending the Tories obviously)

Yeah I've heard about the pension tax changes but at least you will get one! Most of us won't see a penny! And if by some miracle we live to claim it, it will go to the private conservative voting landlords!

Totally embarrassed and fuming how they treated our PM - the stupid childish Labour noise has reinforced my reasons to vote Conservative

It wasn't thriving for those who's pensions they raided, and the gold reserves they sold off!

Whatever Labour do, it has to be better than this clusterfuck.

Whilst thats true it was a world wide thing, and Britain was thriving under labour until that crash. The thing for me with Blair was Iraq it shouldn't have happened. We should have said no.

The Tories have been a shitshow but yeah, Labour screwed the country. We had a global financial crash and Labour had fucked our finances so badly we had absolutely no buffer to weather any storms at all. I had my kids in the 2000s and the NHS certainly wasn't this glowing magical thing then people make it out to be. Not saying it's better now, but it certainly wasn't glowing then either. Surestart was great, but the waste I used to see was ludicrous! It was a fab idea but very flawed financially.

Who would vote Labour when they can’t bring themselves to define what a woman is ?

And are going raise taxes ?

Do you want these idiots in power, really ?

Life is bad now, it will get worse.

Not an issue with her parenting. As I’ve already said, it’s how she talks about people.

It’s not what she’s supposedly done that bothers me - I’m not interested in how she sold her house.

No one is fit to represent their country who calls people ‘scum’.

Omg! Cornflake have you actually seen what the Tories have done since 2010?

So 1997 to 2010 was a disaster was it?

I despair at times. This is delusion.

What behaviour? Or do you hate the fact that a teenage mother has done well?

😂😂😂😂 Have you been sleeping? Not even in the last 14 years but in the last 1

Tories are so much more corrupt than what AR is supposedly done

Mummy, I don't know how old you are, but in the late 80s and early 90s the feeling was much the same. But things did get better. Never lose hope!
