Corbyn has read the Tory manifesto, it's all Labour have been bleating on about. They even keep mentioning them in their own manifesto.
 
Yeah. It is all too fraught. No one is getting a chance to breathe without being shouted down.
 
Getting ruined by Fallon :lol: that's like Michael Owen cutting you down with a witty remark.
 
Farron has been constantly cut off when he's speaking during these debates.
 
I'd love to see a return to the Labour/ Lib Dem/ Conservative debates of 2010, but that would require the LD's to return from the dead.
 
What makes you say that?
i worked in brighton to support the labour party in 2010, so met her at quite a few events, pretty much all the other candidates where polite nice to al us volunteers where hard to put n these free events, even the ukip one, she was just always really rude, talked down to everyone, just generally rude.
 
really annoys me that student fee's are such a big issue, the reason students from poorer backgrounds don't go to uni as much is becuase of their education at pre school or secondary school.
im have student debt, i come from a poor family, does that student debt make any difference to my life nope!
I agree. To be honest, I don't agree with scrapping tuition fees. The current system of payback is fine, but the fee does put many people off. Simply reducing fees would have been a good enough incentive, I think.

I went to university the year they were raised 9k and some kids didn't apply to UCAS as they thought they couldn't afford it. The fact you don't have to pay it back until you're earning over a certain amount meant nothing to some people unfortunately.
 
"Good evening" :lol: that sounded like Tim nice but Dim
 
Possibly a minority view but Rudd's coming out well from this, her only competition on the right is Nuttall who is atrocious.
 
It's really bothering me now. Who keeps voting tory and changing to labour in the poll above? Show yourself you wicked person!!!!

Agree completely. Investing the £12b(?) cost of those fees in early years learning would be transformational. Really wish someone was arguing this.
 
The people this program is trying to reach - people who pay no attention to politics, would have turned with the first 10 minutes.

Anyone debating this who doesn't stress this point is actively dissuading people from studying and should be ashamed of themselves. The problem with the loan system is that it is not enough to live on, and the interest rates charged afterwards are unfair, not that the system exists in the first place.

yeah i think education on the loan system, people act like its crippling it really isn't its a tiny amount of ure wage when you earn over a certain amount.

personally i favour a graduate tax, but the loan system isn't that big of an issue and it annoys me how much press it gets, where their are far more serious problems with our education system
