Parliament's greatest failure over the past 3 years is not our inability to agree a Brexit deal. It has been our lack of collective will to educate the public and expose the lies of 2016. As a result, hard right populists are on the march, selling the same fantasy all over again.

Theresa May didn't publicly break down over Windrush, or Grenfell, or disabled people having their benefits cut, or children driven into poverty. In the end, she only publicly shed a tear over her own career.

The news about university fees is so misleading... poorer students will be hit the hardest. I tell you what would be a good idea... how about dropping the fee and going back to providing free university and college courses? Possible in Scotland why not here?

The UK pays a rebated EU membership fee of £280 million a week. According to the Institute of Fiscal Studies, UK membership of the EU single market is worth 4% more in GDP = £1.9 billion a week. EU membership means a UK net gain of over £1.6 billion a week. Put that on a bus.
