I know, but many people can't seem to accept that or come to terms with it.
I'm all for free speech, but anyone who claims election interference needs to suffer some sort of legal consequence if they're shown to be just making it up.
This is a dangerous road to go down, and like Trump, will be used to justify all kinds of horrendous statements and behaviour.
Oh we’re doing “why don’t a party trying to get elected talk to me, a person with fringe views, in the run up and why do they keep talking like those idiots in the public I don’t like and not to me specifically”
Such fun
They're vacuous soundbites for the gullible.Come on, don't run the economy like a family in a 2 up 2 down, fringe view?
It's awful.
It's not a fringe view you twat, it is a demonstrable fact that the government's budget is not the same as a household's. The only reason you'd pretend otherwise is to give you cover for austerity.Oh we’re doing “why don’t a party trying to get elected talk to me, a person with fringe views, in the run up and why do they keep talking like those idiots in the public I don’t like and not to me specifically”

Enforcing the narrative is very sensible isn't itYes it is! “The economy is like a credit card/household budget” is in fact the dominant narrative in this country.
It’s undeniably vacuous but I assume that’s kind of the point when you’re being interviewed for the Telegraph’s weekend supplements. Or do they feature more articles on MMT than I give them credit for?They're vacuous soundbites for the gullible.

Now back to assuming that anyone who isn’t in work is lazy or can’t be arsed
Labour: Young people will be expected to take up work and training
Liz Kendall says there's "no option of a life on benefits" for young people if Labour wins the election.www.bbc.co.uk
What's the training in? What jobs are unfilled that require training?Now back to assuming that anyone who isn’t in work is lazy or can’t be arsed

At one point, around 10 years ago, there was talk of making education compulsory until 18 if you weren't working. Was that ever enacted?

I wonder if the calls within the Tories for Sunak to go will increase of the back of that or are they all resigned to their fate now? Been saying it for a while now but the longer they leave this the worse it will be for the Tories at the next GE. The country is fed up with them and their 14 years of failure, simple as. By leaving it longer all they’re doing is giving more opportunity for more people to have enough.Obligatory polls will tighten but let’s have fun looking at electoral calculus anyway. Worst IPSOS poll in its history for the Tories.
It’s also funny that it could end up being so bad that they’re not even the opposition party, Edd Davey to lead at PMQ’s.
My prediction is that it will turn out nothing like this. It is based on large swings in small numbers of by-elections, and ludicrously small samples of skewed demographics by the pollsters. Labour have plenty of opportunities to fuck it up between now and then.Obligatory polls will tighten but let’s have fun looking at electoral calculus anyway.

I don’t either but I wouldn’t write it off. Sunak is awful, he can’t help but put his foot in it every time he opens his mouth, he just can’t cut through (see Friday nights press conference). I can see him being truly awful on the campaign trail, worse than Brown. Couple that with he has a party full of lunatics who are intent on dropping him in it to the point of what you can only assume deliberately sabotaging him. If Starmer can run a good campaign he could well take votes of the Lib Dem’s as well as Tories meaning whoever the opposition party is it will be marginal. I don’t expect the Lib Dem’s to win 47 seats but I also struggle to see the Tories winning 47 seats based on current polling even with polling narrowing nearer a confirmed GE. Assuming Sunak can last until that point.I don’t think that’s going to happen tony

There is "representative" and "statistically significant" - they still poll quite small numbers (usually in the single-figure thousands) and their methods may not reach all of the electorate, that's all.If Labour managed to fuck it up from here it would be the greatest political fuck up of all time. The polling is consistent and has been for ages. Not sure what you’re on about with demographics, IPSOS, like every other BPC member uses representative samples.

Have you only just realised that?
It's weird how Tories pretend to be libertarian when the reality is that they are extremely authoritarian.

(don't know what "cope" means)Sorry man but this is cope. Polls are generally pretty reliable. A 1k representative sample gives a MoE of less than 3% at 95% CI.

The idea that people don’t work simply because they don’t want to is what I take issue with.Im not sure that’s the case at all. There is currently a higher percentage of 18-24 years old out of work due to ill health than people on early 40s. Add to that the recent poll where I think 10% of those 18-24 out of work said they never intended to start working ?!
This just feels wrong and to not try to address this is a dereliction of duty to the young in this country whoever’s in power.
Yes. You have to be in some form of education until 18, been that way for years.
The idea that people don’t work simply because they don’t want to is what I take issue with.
Poorly phrased on my part, I meant your second sentenceThere are definitely people who don't work because they don't want to, I can assure you.
What I take issue with is the idea that everyone who doesn't work doesnt want to, again, I can categorically say that's not true.
