I do wonder if Sunak is doing everything he can to lose his own seat. What’s the betting if he does win his seat there’s a by-election within a year due to his resignation as an MP.
I think you'd need to widen the net a bit more than those who committed sex crimes.Ridiculous stuff. Although I would suggest paid national service as an alternative to a criminal record/prison term for offenders (non sex crimes) aged 18-30. Bit of direction to get them back on track and help the prison overcrowding issue.

The snippet i heard on the radio news this morning suggested that Labour's response to the idea, instead of asking what the actual point of it was and what it was seeking to achieve, was to say it was 'uncosted'.
He has a majority of nearly 30,000 so I'd be stunned if even he managed to lose there.I do wonder if Sunak is doing everything he can to lose his own seat. What’s the betting if he does win his seat there’s a by-election within a year due to his resignation as an MP.
Thought that was genuinely impressive message discipline tbhThe snippet i heard on the radio news this morning suggested that Labour's response to the idea, instead of asking what the actual point of it was and what it was seeking to achieve, was to say it was 'uncosted'.
Won't happen, it's a very affluent areaI do wonder if Sunak is doing everything he can to lose his own seat. What’s the betting if he does win his seat there’s a by-election within a year due to his resignation as an MP.

I’ve no idea if it’s correct, or effective politics. I just think that having her response to such an obviously dumb and unworkable plan still be “It’s uncosted” shows an almost deranged commitment to staying on message.It's not even correct, the tories have said how they're funding it, its coming out of the levelling up pot, (or whatever fancy name they've given it), so that should have been her line attack as levelling up is already a disaster.
It's similar to Starmer's line on Natalie ElphickeI’ve no idea if it’s correct, or effective politics. I just think that having her response to such an obviously dumb and unworkable plan still be “It’s uncosted” shows an almost deranged commitment to staying on message.
How would that work?Let's be honest , they are using national service as a way of trying to reduce immigration as they don't know how to control it any other way
Put em in it?How would that work?

Well they wouldn’t be eligible for the military service part. I’m sure there are hordes of immigrants who’d see no problem in doing volunteer work if it meant they got into the country, and plenty of others would just dodge it the same as British 18-year olds would.Put em in it?
It's not uncommon to hear about people on benefits living a life of luxury but I can't work out how anyone would manage it.i'm talking about people i know. members of my family. i'd know if they'd inherited anything.
Might prevent people wanting to come here starting a familyHow would that work?
It's just a completely dumbed down country, run and reported on by the same clique of privileged dickheads.You’ve got to love how forensic our journalists are these days….
I notice that Starmer has been doing a tour of lower and non-league football grounds to appear more 'with it'. He should do Nuneaton nextSunak probably taking the day off the campaign trail to go to Wembley... Will give him one thing it takes a lot for most of the country to unite behind Leeds United if he does show his face
I think you’re underestimating how much people want to live here!Might prevent people wanting to come here starting a family
I love it when you can tell a Kuenssberg without even seeing her bylineYou’ve got to love how forensic our journalists are these days….

During covid when there was a very real prospect of me losing my job I looked at what I'd be entitled to and I'd probably be able to survive for a month before I'd basically be homeless. And then again recently I spent some time in hospital and essentially got told work related stress is going to kill me, looked into what I'd be entitled to if I took up their suggestion of being signed off work long term and again it was fuck all.
Is there genuinely people doing more than just surviving on benefits, how the hell are they doing it?
