I want him to go. I'd also like to see a system where 1 child from a poor background gets into the private schools for every fee paying child. What exactly is a poor background.

What exactly is a poor background. I would say that poor is if you have to rely on foodbanks. Poor is if you do without food to feed your children during the school holidays. Poor is not being able to afford tampons for your daughters. There are many different ways of measuring poverty. This article offers some insight and the head of the committee is a Tory peer [Link] It is not only morally wrong that poor children do not have the chance to attend these schools, it is also a vast waste of potential talent.

Labour want us to pay reparations for our colonialism. Hey, when am I getting my cheque from the Romans, Vikings and Normans? What utter self hating fruitcakes. Edited by Stirlingsays (24 Sep 2019 2.27am)

Funny how labour leaders want another Brexit vote in a referendum but don’t want another more accurate party conference vote on it with cards rather than hands in the air counted. Only labour. Only Corbyn. With a show of hands it’s easier to get the desired result as you could see from what happened at the conference. Surprised they didn’t allow postal votes just in case. Labour democracy in action. Now go back to your constituencies, polish your jackboots, and prepare for power.

Sargon with highlights of the Labour conference. These people are truly awful.

Jeremy Corbin is the best thing to have happened to british politics, long may he be leader of the opposition party.

Talk of momentum members being forced to raise their hands to show loyalty and support Corbyn with his non commitment and referendum policy. Who would’ve thought it? How about a people’s vote (supposed to translate to a fair, meaningful vote) at the conference? I knew it would be a joke conference.

There was nothing wrong with that vote, the chair would have ordered a card vote if it had been anywhere near close. It was just that the remain side lost. But the policy of a future referendum within six months of power with a credible leave and remain option won so the public will decide. Not a May or Johnson stitch up but leaving our single market trading position undiminished (thank you Mrs Thatcher). Just revoking is by far the better option than all this in my opinion.

Only Corbyn. Is it? Genuine question as I really don't know but I though I saw a show of hands on the news from the LibDem conference but it could have been cards in thew air (is this more accurate?). Not sure if the Tories have had a conference yet.
