Do you remember the Tories when letting out prisoners early getting this much media coverage? I mean the cameras are outside practically every prison in the country.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Even though it’s the Tories who let our prisons rot, built no prisons and only made 500 prison more places in 14 years? The media blamed Keir Starmer for having to let prisoners out early because prisons are full and of course now it’s all Andy Burnham’s fault.

I joined this party because I care about fairness and tackling inequality, and that has to include inequality between generations. This line, and this decision, fails on both counts. Ed needs to think again.

Ed is right that we shouldn't pit one generation against another. But intergenerational inequality is already one of the defining injustices of our time, and this would further entrench it. Worse, it gaslights an entire generation into believing it's for our benefit.

Govt showing signs it's actually thought all aspects of care policy through. Polanski's dismissal of care work as "bum wiping" a few months ago marked the end of my consideration that the Green's could form an alternative to Labour. I thought it was a hateful comment that really shows who he is.

I feel so sorry for Man City fans but Man City need to be thrown out of all 4 leagues. They need a massive fine and several transfer windows, closed. Then it needs to be investigated to see if they have committed fraud. Nothing else will do.

The current Conservative party is simply not intellectually equipped to handle Burnham's way of doing politics. That is the bleak reality of it. They'll assume they can do more damage by boycotting and then branding it a stitch up.

To see Polanski and Davey jumping on the ‘he’s robbing poor pensioners’ bandwagon is frankly, beneath them. They now exactly what Burnham is doing and why? He’s cutting the TL and replacing it with a double lock to pay for social care. Disgusting politics, no better than the Tories.
