What on earth is going on outside the university where the live debate is taking place? Sounds pretty crazy!

Let's see if Rishi still loves the UK on 5th July, or if he will in fact be on the next private jet off to California to live the high life out there.

I’m not voting for Labour because I don’t agree with taxing pensioners who are already struggling to get by with higher food and utility bills. And I think women have a right to feel safe in public spaces. Why should that safety net be removed for the sake of not offending a minority.

Why did they stop Help to Buy then?

Exactly! and they have had 14 years to abolish stamp duty!

Women are way more risk of assault in their own homes than in public spaces tbh and we have unsafe policing levels under this government, and a benefits system that grinds women into such poverty that leaving when your husband is the main earner is almost impossible. Women and children are living in unsafe housing environments full of mould, often temporary housing. Women and children are unsafe sitting on waiting lists for years, or waiting hours or days (!) in A&E waiting rooms under the Tory government.

The Tories do not care about the safety of women and children,

I think rishi has just got my vote, I agree women need protected spaces, I am in agreement we need to be understanding and caring towards anyone making a transition but women deserve spaces they don't feel intimated in

I think the "Fully costed" is important though, as Rishi keeps saying labour are unclear on where the money is coming - the costings are set out in the manifesto.

But not if the IFS says there’s a conspiracy of silence over tax rises and spending cuts

I don’t think the numbers stack up

‘For all the people like you, who have lost [90%] of your business [due to decisions by our party], we are going to cut UC which you are undoubtably currently having to claim’

but it is just one part of the problem - I don't thin I ever said faster processing would stop trafficking - that is a global issue to be tackled globally - but if we can people here from Ukraine we can do the same for other countries - maybe we need to start there and look at how we remove the criminals completely

Show quote history

We could but you’d have to change international law otherwise you’ll get systems such as the Ukraine one plus traffickers

If you did both it would get rid of the need for criminal gangs so I’m with you on that

God help those daughters if they develop a disability and struggle to work.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Bloody hell someone has mentioned the B word!

MeinKraft · 26/06/2024 21:16

Don't agree with Rishi that you're never allowed to change your mind on an issue. Surely it's important to keep listening and learning about things and change policy as appropriate...Tories are so inflexible, even when they do take a U turn they insist that they didn't!

As if he can talk about making the world a better place for women "for his daughters", as if they will ever live in the world we are talking about.

Exactly!

You’re focusing on the part of my post that isn’t related to what you were saying

I’m not questioning the 60% I’m saying you won’t send many people back and faster processing will invite higher numbers

I have an issue with faster processing being a solution to trafficking. It won’t be it’ll make it more attractive

Keir has mentioned he ran the CPS, take a shot!

Next one when he tells us his dad was a toolmaker

We've been playing this too.

My dad was a toolmaker.

It’s getting rediculous now. I feel sorry for any Jewish kids who go to uni in this country.

On a higher level than British people? Probably in work benefits like UC top up or CB - most of the UASC I work with want an education and a good job and to work

It's doing my head in. As a tinnitus sufferer, it's distracting and massively annoying.

I've had to turn it off. I have a headache now.
