Dividing voters into “7 tribes” branding the left as out of touch, further pushes this culture war nonsense.
A majority of us back nationalisation of rail, mail and water. Let's work together to make that happen rather than arguing over our differences.

While this is a welcome development, how did we end up with raw sewage in our rivers in the first place?
Privatisation’s left us with water that puts us all at “significant risk”.
82% of us support nationalisation of water, government should listen.

This policy makes zero sense. Tax evasion/avoidance costs the taxpayer 4 times more than benefit fraud.
Are tax dodgers also going to lose their driving licenses?
If the govt is clamping down on fraud, they should start with corporate fraud and make the rich pay their fair share
