Live debate? Protests

[Theordinary]

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

I listen to R4 in the mornings too and think she’s doing brilliantly here

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

@EasternStandard people have a right to claim asylum - anywhere they want to - do you want to do away with that? that 60% have the right to be here

not that they’ll ever need to claim benefits, of course.

I don't understand why the BBC are allowed to say that one of these men will be our next PM. Surely they have to be neutral? And it is possible that neither the Conservatives nor Labour will win. We haven't voted yet!

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

Oh god there's nothing more depressing than the 'things will never change why bother voting' crew

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

I have!! (Voted) as have many others.

Sunak has totally lost the plot.

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

Sorry, I was referring to Rishi’s daughters

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

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.

Ok, fair enough:-)

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

We've been playing this too.

My dad was a toolmaker.
Smash the gangs.
Fully costed.

Drink!

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

Exactly!

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!

Bloody hell someone has mentioned the B word!

That's exactly what I was thinking.

‘I know how hard it is, I know what the struggles are like’ 🤣🤣🤣

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

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

‘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’

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.
