    In the 1980s, I worked with someone whose father who had mobility issues used to get the Tory Party to pick him up and take him to the polling station and back the conservative club for tea and cake. Then they would take him home. He voted Labour every time

      I used to live in a constituency with a high level of accommodation for elderly and disabled where we arranged to pick up voters to go and vote and we never asked how they were likely to vote. It wasn't the important factor. Getting them to the polling station was. That was the Labour Party.

    The Get Brexit Done is not a tick - there was a huge list of promises associated with that action.
    The deal was "Leave the EU and you'll get all this good stuff" - not "We've left the EU but we cannot do any of the promises"
    And of course for the many that knew it would be a disaster, it's a double fail because of what was lost for nothing gained.

    If you get canvassed by a Tory or Reform person keep them talking ad long as possible if you have the time to cut down how many people they can speak to. Don’t vote for them, obviously.
    Also bring up electoral reform / PR as an issue on the doorstep - I’m a lifelong Green voter but I’d loan my vote to another party who had a manifesto commitment to changing the ancient unfair voting system we have that massively reduces the seats smaller parties get.

      @@happyChappy96621 I’d rather a fairer electoral system and if that’s what people vote for that’s what people should get. There may also be a lot of people around the country who live in safe seats for a different party and they may don’t bother voting at all as it won’t change the result but they would like to vote if it actually affected what MPs got in government. Overall our country is more leftwing than the governments we get a large majority of the time and PR could correct this. There would be more Reform MPs but they would be unlikely to be part of the government in power or only rarely.

    Unpopular outside view from Germany and Switzerland here: I am really a self confessed news junkie both on national and uk news. Let me tell you: the „world stage“ hasn’t mentioned Sunaks D-day decision even once. I find it fascinating how often it comes up with pundits, particularly with the NS, LBC or tldr; but that’s pretty much it. I also think there is very good reasons not to talk about it, as all parties seem to agree. It’s simply a non-issue. Other than water, climate change, the NHS, Europe, wages, rents, … you name it. But I may totally lack the finger on Britain’s pulse.

    I’d appreciate it if you’d ask a question regarding housing and disability equality, I’ve found there’s no disabled housing for those below 55 or if there is it’s often by chance a needed adaption while someone’s waiting to move and not suitable for future use so a shower onto a bath up flights of concrete slippery stairs. An adapted property with steps upto it and up hill and so on. I’d like to see someone actually commit to having housing specifically allocated for those disabled and under. 55, this could be done by using ground floor flats for example or adapting buildings in suitable locations. Adaptions of some homes for those in the Comunity who are disabled with families. Currently there’s a huge short fall for disabled housing personally I had to get my home with ALOT of paperwork and quoting the disability equality act for ageism.

    An hour on house building: excellent. Property out of reach for the young. Those that manage to get a mortgage pushed towards poverty unless they work two jobs and have no life. AND of course, seemingly the only thing anyone who DOES have a bit of money can think of to invest in….which in turn makes things worse by pushing prices up. Add to that NIMBYISM on a national scale! Pull that one apart. No wonder neither party wants to tackle it.

      not quite my pedantic friend, its only "seats" if each MP has more than one seat each which they don't. By the way its "an" before a vowel not "a" - so "an English grammar error"

    If you get canvassed by a Tory or Reform person keep them talking as long as possible if you have the time to cut down how many people they can speak to. Don’t vote for them, obviously.
    Also bring up electoral reform / PR as an issue on the doorstep - I’m a lifelong Green voter but I’d loan my vote to another party who had a manifesto commitment to changing the ancient unfair voting system we have that massively reduces the seats smaller parties get.
