Yep, education is the key.
For life skills, employment and also for decency, tolerance and respect to others.
Also, to learn the history of what happens when too many, are too bloody stupid...

Proving once and for all the Labour Government is not Tory lite, nobody will ever agree with every Government policy but ditch Labour and this is what we'll get. The left and centre left majority in the Hoc need to fight against this together.

This lot are totally barmy and their close cousins at Reform HQ are even worse.
Labour might be getting some things wrong, while doing some things right, but please, please see that they and the other "normal" political parties, are a so much better option than these Tory/Reform crazies.

Jenrick delivers one of the most asinine speeches I have ever heard. He even brought along a prop, to explain how a judge becomes impartial setting aside personal views, then went on to attack judges for having views. His solution? Abolish tribunals. And who will adjudicate cases? Pfft. Details. ~AA

If Labour are crap, you vote for Reform?
I think only racists and idiots do that.
Tories and Reform are not the answer, they are the problem
Labour might not be perfect at all, but they are a thousand times better than those in Reform or in the Tory party.

Certainly rats. All of them, Tories and Reform.
The scum of UK politics,

So "barmy" Badenoch speaks and the BBC seek out conference attendees that "just happen" to support her views, just like they did with "fruitcake" Farage.
When "sane" Starmer spoke though, they sought out only those critical of him.
Of course the BBC has no political bias though, do they?

Badenoch condemning Starmer for showing no success at turning around our battered country, just 15 months into Government and at the same time stating that her plans to turn around the dead Tory party will need more time to show results.
She's useless for the Tory Party but a gift to all the others.

What a sad and muddled country we are, when Farage rides high in the polls, while David Lammy is booed for attending an event to pay respect for victims of a terror attack.

'Farage Boats' is a useful term and should be normalised.

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏
