Number of 18 yr olds in the uk ~750k
Number of people in Uk army ~75k
Not quite sure how the army will cope with annually taking on board 10 times there size in recruits, giving them uniforms, equipment, training staff.
Oh and how does it work in Northern Ireland?
Bonkers
Total of 9 fruit, veg bags and trays recycled in seven days but supermarkets conspire against us. Not shopping there anymore unless they stop wrapping everything in plastic #BigPlasticCount

You don’t have to play a fictional billionaire to care about the corrosive effects of extreme wealth. But you can, if you like!

How did the Foreign Office manage to spend £4,333.30 on two trips to the hairdresser?
Why has their spending via government procurement cards shot up 45% since last September?
And why won’t they answer these and dozens more related questions?
Read all about it in my letter:

Sajid Javid regularly attacked me and Labour for opposing the increase in National Insurance.
Now he’s on TV telling us that he opposes the rise in National Insurance, too.
The Conservatives are showing that they are unfit to govern.
It’s time for a fresh start with Labour.
