I gather that soon 16 & 17 yr olds may have limits set on their screen time (poss night time curfew) If they cannot decide when to go to bed why is this same age group to be trusted to vote in elections that could send men off to war, or make huge difference economically? I think it is because youngsters are or have recently been under left wing indoctrination of schools / colleges, & less able to think for themselves.
I also gather if Burnham wins then the resulting GM mayoral election rules are about to be gerrymandered to make a Reform win impossible

Yep its less about 16 year olds more about getting everyone to use digital id to access YouTube. Its so nakedly political. Why would you apply it to YouTube which isnt really social media its more of a learning or entertainment platform and yet exclude bluesky, the left version of twitter

Trouble is labour will take this as a sign they can be electable and strong with a new leader......Simply cements my long term plans to get out.
What a crap show
Watch the markets today
Reality is I bet 10,000 of the labour votes where people voting labour to get Keir out.... It's a mess.

Simple call a General Election, when in opposition they called on it every time conservatives swapped jockeys.
But. How can they elected a party leader and PM who wasn't even an MP or an option as a leader when they 'won'. If it was anyone else there would be holy murder about it.
But they will soon be on the summer shut down won't they so I imagine the paralysis can continue.
Finally can't stand the man and I've never voted for him as manchester mayor, just hope this doesn't mean no brainer rainer doesn't try to be mayor or Gary Neville

Well the result for restore wasn't too far out from my canvassing sample the other week. Strong start for a young party but disappointing after all the hype. The party should have managed expectations and been a lot clearer and firmer with their instructions to canvassers. Considering voting restore should not have been marked down as a restore vote. Disappointed Lowe's account posted internal polling over 20%, laughable really. It opened my eyes when up there to how loyal labour voters are. They don't care about policy or leader just the brand. Im from the right side of the spectrum but ive voted for 3 or 4 different parties in my time I reckon. Whoever says what I want to happen at each election. Gutted that the whole right vote couldn't of even beat Labour with them receiving over 50%. I cant see restore being in any position to challenge for power in 2029. Perhaps the best we can hope for is to hold Reforms feet to the fire and hold them to the right. What do you think @doobin? I know you signed up.

The people of Makerfield thought they were voting for a new Labour prime minister, to be fair Burnham did manage 55% of the vote. Only to find that it is not that simple. Harriet Harperson says there must be much debate (inc about Gaza & Human Rights) & a woman on the ballot paper. Anyone knows it is between Starmer, Streeting & Burnham. This is the London trendy lefty internationalists at their worst. Makerfield is 'old Labour' a remnant of the old workers party that was hijacked by the 'chattering classes'.
Uncontrolled low skill immigration is far more a threat in already poor de industrialized areas than London & the leafy south. I suspect this is the last throw of the dice & when the promised goodies do not materialize (if only because of the IMF) it will be another story next time
The Right must learn to co operate - left wing voters no doubt have done so on this occasion.

I've said it numerous times Starmer is being kept there to bring certain things into play.
Anyone else would have been ousted by now
