The PM says he will not negotiate a 'youth mobility scheme' with the EU. Why not? Only Brexit die-hards would oppose re-opening this cultural, social and economic
opportunity which was available to every young person pre-Brexit including all MPs.

It astounds me to hear "well I could never ever vote Labour it would be absolutely disastrous" without a second's thought. What was it about 1997-2010 that was so unbearable for you? Seeing a GP? Getting a filling? Decent welfare system? Schools being built? Well fed kids? What?

Just 7% of Brits are privately educated yet 74% of the new cabinet are privately educated. A two-tier education system creates a two-tier society. We'll hear a lot about diversity over the coming few days but diversity which doesn't account for social class is meaningless

Britain has the most expensive energy in Europe, the most expensive train fares in Europe, the most overcrowded prisons in Europe and the dirtiest rivers and beaches in Europe. Such are the successes of privatisation.

In our house we keep talking about how we don't really understand this country anymore. Anyone else feel the same?
