Thirdly ( and oh yes I will probably get to ninthly) this obsession with earnings as a measure of quality and value is narrow minded and misses the many other benefits of going to university- to the individual and the country.

18-year olds can already join the armed forces.

18-year olds can already join the Army Reserve.

18-year olds can already do volunteer work.

18-year olds can already help out in their community.

Now, they CAN.

Under the Tory National Service plan, they MUST.

Very different!

Ah yes the young are living in a bubble cut off from the real world. Anyway here’s the prime minister asking a homeless person if they have their own business.

Farage doesn't even have the courage to run to be an MP, let alone prime minister. So this level of debate seems rather above his pay grade.

Who cares what this cowardly xenophobe thinks and why would any serious politician bother debating this lying toad? He represents no one. Pathetic. 😉😂

As with discussions about universities acting parenting students, this forgets that 18-year-olds are legal adults and their parents are not liable for their actions.

I'm increasingly convinced that the Tories actively don't want to win the election, but become the opposition so they can scream outrage at Labour for 5 years for problems the kleptocratic Tories caused, and then gull voters into thinking they need 'change'.

Plausible at least.

My local Sainsbury's *still* hasn't fixed the computer attached to their Smart Shop handset wall.

I'm wondering if they are planning to phase it out in favour of everyone just using the phone app. (This would be a bad decision based on the number of ppl using the handsets.)

And we are supposed to celebrate a slight fall in energy prices…

Never forget, the Tories put fossil fuel companies’ profits before consumer welfare:

His explanation only makes it clearer that the plan is to use 18 year olds as a cheap way to plug the gap in crumbling public services.
