Maybe - just maybe - young people are able to think for themselves. 🤔
Chanting 'Jeremy Corbyn' & holding signs saying 'Tories out' is an incredibly worrying sign for our School systems - how did they get those ideas? Some serious questions must be asked of our schools systems. Where is the diversity of thought or an impartial educational system?

Hello @BBCr4today. Last week you ignored Labour’s free bus fares for U25s policy launch though all the papers covered it.
Today you’re ignoring Labour’s housing policy launch but leading on a Tory consultation on plastic. Why is this?

In all my years in Parliament - even in the 1970s - I have NEVER seen this. This is absolutely bloody shameful.
I trust Labour MPs will be disgusted by these desperate and heartless Tory tactics, vote against the Government and back the meaningful vote.
Labour sources claim Tories refusing to “nod thru” ill MPs this afternoon.
Conventionally, ill MPs can turn up and stay in car/ambulance in courtyard and be deemed to hv voted. 2 Lab MPs coming from hospital, one on morphine, source claimed.
Not today (unless deal done etc)

Honoured to mark John Smith’s passing 25 years ago with his wife Elizabeth, friends and family.
John was a man I greatly admired, whose untimely death was a huge loss to this country but who pathed the way for Labour’s return to Government.
