If you've got £10bn to spend on HE, just ramp up bursaries for lower income kids and give extra funding to the universities themselves.
But in reality, this is just retail politics in the same way that it was for the Lib Dems.
It is the same with Labour's zero hours contracts policy. I think they need to be better regulated so they are not exploitative but they are a useful tool for the economy.
He's followed it up:
Already happening, part of the Lib Dems policy push is because US hedge fund managers were speaking with Clegg. There's a lot of money circling around the issue and there's been a fair bit in financial press.
I dont think it'll be long, capitalism is what will push the policy through
Capitalism is part of the reason it hasn't happened yet. Booze companies are a big part of the anti-legalisation lobby, for example.
I'm surprised there's been no mention of the ransomware attack on the NHS here already.

I think Labour will do much better than expected. Those who are saying that they'll be voting Lib Dem or Green will decide to vote Labour when the time comes. Labour is going to contest all the seats anyway. They are not going to not put up candidates in some seats so as to not split the anti Tory vote. A lot of Green and Lib Dem votes will switch to Labour, even though they are contesting in those seats.
Might seem like a daft thing to say, but stranger things have happened.

You must be a barrel of laughs down the pub.......
Well that's the thing. I do want to wake people up and get them to vote Labour but have to balance that with not wanting to bang on about politics all the time.
Please world keep pressuring him on this
Alright, who's the 60 shitehawks voting conservative?
Somebody please tell me these claims about Nick Robinson's political past are fake news!
Do you think that all news reporters are supposed to have no political views?
Telegraph writer, Janet Daley, was a proud socialist at around the same age.
Those are all positions that would have been held by him 30 years ago. Can a person not change their political alignment? Him being director for a conservative group for multilateral disarmament even suggests that he was more left leaning.
The elegance one is the most baffling reason for people to get wound up, he's literally pointing to her avoiding the questions. If you describe someone as "elegantly shooting themselves in the foot", you aren't complimenting them.
Of course not, but it must be unbelievably difficult for him to be impartial. I am a Labour member and voter and hate the Tories (the 1%ers) and woud really, really struggle to present the case in favour of Tories. I mean - it would be just impossible. He is, according to this, far, far more allied to the Tory cause than I am to Labour. How would he even begin to recognise his own bias? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and concede that he must try very hard to be fair, but it's very plain that he does struggle - not just to be unbiased, but to see himself as the biased Tory he very plainly is and always will be.
What you posted showed that he was involved in the youth ranks of the Tory party 30-35 years ago. It says nothing of what his political alignment is now.
I think he might be a Tory. It's not just him though. The BBC is Tory.
Robinson's clearly a Tory. I don't personally rage against that but I think pretending it isn't clear is a bit much.
I know when faced with our Denis' full on Corbyn4life rhetoric it can be hard to agree with him but still...

Maybe Robinson is Orc.
The question isn't if he is a Tory but if he is abusing his power as a BBC journalist to do down Corbyn.
Why is he clearly a Tory anyway?
Are those comments for real? It seems to me whenever I watch QT that the left wing positions get the most applause and by a distance.
Yes, unsurprisingly you do get local councillors and party members and generally partisan people that go on Question Time. Do people think it's full of swing voters or something?
feck knows. Maybe he enjoyed it the first time he pulled a butterfly's wings off.
Tories new policy on forcing social media companies to delete your data on request is an odd one considering thats already an EU regulation thats coming into force next year anyway.
That Labour youth rep is going to be gutted that policy didn't kick in a bit earlier.
"I'm worried about corbyn, he's gaining, what can we do?"
"hmm, we need to get a large group of his vote back"
"Yes we do, the gays won't come, we've pissed off the coloreds somewhat, what about the hippies"
"they'll never vote for us"
"we don't need them to vote for us, just not for them"
"gotcha, activate agent yellow"
LibDems announce they'll legalise weed.

Why is the press picking up on the LibDems and weed today... I was talking about it last week!

Hasn't this been longstanding Lib Dem policy anyway? Pretty sure I've heard Clegg talk about decriminalising all drugs.
Yes, he talked about it at the leaders debates.
Yup. Not sure what's with all the hubub.
Still anything is better than asking Farron if gay sex is a sin again. Although I'd like to know if all anal sex is a sin, i asume so. Which probably means they haven't tried it
