This might explain who she is.

It’s concerning that 15.91% of responders appear to be suffering from electile disfunction

Baroness Mone of fleecing the taxpayer out of a couple of hundred million quid.

Yes!

Glasgows Michelle Moan. Former business woman turned peer and muppet, apparently made lots of money during covid for various dodgy reasons and has hardly been seen since it all came out.

So if you don't do it you can't work for councils, the NHS, the police....

The guy is a complete moron. He wants to make it harder for people to work in the public sector? This also means it's easier for a immigrant to get a job in those services than someone whose British and didn't do the national service.

I assume these extra layers of detail are designed to make it sound like they really truly honestly have been planning this for months and aren’t just frantically trying to shore up the boomer vote.

Don't be unkind to Morons. Anyway, his favouritist soccerball team, Southampton Rovers, have won a game of kick ball
. He is their no 1 fan apparently. The last thing he'll be winning anytime soon.

I wish I didn't know who she is!

Not really sure why they are even calling it National Service.

Apparently only 30,000 max would be allowed to do "Military Training".
Thats about 4% of current 18 year olds, the rest would do Community Service (or "volunteering" as they call it).

I bears little resemlance to what most people think of when you say "National Service".

Not that any of this matters, since they have about as much chance of winning as I do of winning the Lottery Jackpot this year.

(In fact, I'd say my odds of winning are far better atm).

How to have a protest vote in a constituency that has been solidly Tory since its inception in 1974?

Any ideas? Because essentially that's what I've been doing since I began voting.

Modern day slavery. The ultimate Conservative wheeze for getting the job done on the cheap. No more zero hour contracts because now they've come up with zero pay contracts. I doubt the party donors behind the companies set up to brand. the slaves administer the volunteers will be doing it for nothing. Not when there's a nice profit to be made.

I'm sure there will be some tactical voting websites up and running soon (if there aren't already). Given the current polling, can any Tory seat be considered safe at the moment?
