I think the ULEZ issue will vanish quickly once it's implemented. The daft campaigns against it have a lot more people in outer London imagining it will affect them than are actually caught by it.

NotJustANumber99: Feb 15, 2012; somehow that last av was even worse than your posting

I have no idea who this is good or bad for but agree that the least bad outcome is a hunging parliament as at least everybody loses a bit then.

I've already written off London but I suppose a reason to be wary of the ULEZ is it spreading to other, nicer, cities and towns too.

This absolutely doesn't scream "Grab everything in the staff room and dump it in the corner to look like we gave a poo poo".

They couldn't even be bothered to set up a table.

A hung parliament with a massive swing to the greens would be ideal. It would make it apparent that you lose more votes to the left than you gain votes from the right.

Daftest thing is ULEZ expansion is 100% a Tory policy. It was a mandated part of the central government TFL funding agreement. Khan just decided to take credit for it because (for him specifically) it's a massive vote winner.

So now we're going to get Tories campaigning viciously against a Tory policy, a Labour mayor trying to claim all the credit for a policy the Labour national party hate, and the Labour national party blaming the Labour mayor for something he didn't actually do.

This does make it seem like the original guy was telling porkies but I can't be mad given the starmtrooper response... rather than "oh that doesn't sound right, let me check" it was "the plebs don't deserve it and furthermore it's illegal".

The Question IRL: Jun 8, 2013; Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

I also get the feeling that while Tory's are bastards and ultimately create policies that screw over most people, I do think that they would at least have food for their staff and canvassers.

Even if it was done just for the reason that it looks professional to provide food to the people who are working for you, and maybe you can arrange for pictures of you standing far too close for comfort to your canvassers afterwards. Or just that they think they'll have life-long loyal members if they get them a couple of pizzas at the end of the night.

Labour comes across as "these Canvassers needs to work for us and be grateful for the privilege to do so!" And just takes the volunteers for granted.

The tories strongly believe in socialism for fellow tories, so yes they would splash their canvassers with food and travel expenses. Same way the Tories run loving bus and taxi services for their voters on election day.

Keir Mather - Labour's newest MP and 'baby of the House

BBC article posted:

But who is Labour's new MP for the North Yorkshire constituency?

Born in 1998, Mr Mather has become Westminster's youngest MP, at 25 years old.

According to his party biography, Mr Mather was born in Hull and grew up near Selby.

As a child, Mr Mather joined the youth parliament and set up a Labour group for young people in Hull, his mother has said.

"He just loves speaking," said mum Jill Tambaros, adding that he had studied Speech and Drama in school and enjoyed performing in plays.

"We both just really enjoy politics, it's just part of our life," she told BBC News. "If ever I was cross with him he'd go, 'mummy, shall I put on BBC News?' - to cheer me up."

He was named after James Keir Hardie, one of the founders of the Labour party, Ms Tambaros added.

After school, the young Keir went on to study history and politics at Oxford University, graduating with a first-class degree - according to his LinkedIn profile.

Mr Mather has previously worked as a parliamentary researcher for shadow health secretary Wes Streeting, and more recently as a senior public affairs adviser at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).

He also became a political leadership scholar at the Blavatnik School of Government, according to the University of Oxford.

quote:

Mr Mather's mother described her son as articulate, observant and genuine, predicting he will do "very well" in the House of Commons.

"Nothing really phases him, he doesn't get stressed...he just takes things in his stride, one step at a time," said Ms Tambaros.

Asked is he could be a future prime minister, she replied: "Why not? Never say never...he's 25 and he's done all of this!"
