Burnham has been brave where Starmer probably would have been timid. Of course those that voted for Corbyn will never be happy. #Labourconference

Political activists of any party are by definition not “normal people “ And yes I’ve been to four Labour conferences (youth and adult).

I don't know why I do it but I listened to callers on #bbcaq defending why they should retain the triple lock on their pensions - the usual procession of selfish, entitled, mean spirited boomers.

Labour members voted for Corbyn rather than Burnham in 2015. That’s how politically unsophisticated they are.

Some people have to follow the herd. I’ve never worried about it making me look like a failure and not a high flyer because I’m not that. Mortgage paid off and early retirement planned. Life is working out at last!

I’m 59 and considering retirement. But I’ve always taken a packed lunch. My mindset has always been every little bit helps and get that bloody mortgage paid off.

Caller on BBC Any Questions angry about possibility of triple lock going then complains about minimum wage being too high, illegal immigrants in five star hotels and end of the two child benefit cap. Boomers are without a doubt the most selfish and entitled generation this country has ever known.
