Looking at Lindsay Hoyle's voting record, he seems to be a bit of a tool.

Am I missing some exonerating circumstance here?

Gove probably wanted to quietly cancel the Islamophobia inquiry just after the election instead of drawing attention to their racism before the election.

"we can't take any more people"

It's funny seeing the exact same racist rhetoric used in the USA, a country with about a tenth of the population density.

Not gonna lie I'm feeling a bit of hope seeing how the media's getting so nervous about the Brexit Party vote splitting

If people who habitually vote tory actually start thinking about voting for someone else, it's a huge win.

Does the average person really think he's gonna go full Stalin the second he gets in power?

I don't think anyone pushing this narrative actually believes it for a moment. It's just the go-to attack line left-wing leaders have had to put up with for decades.

Help our homeless, but not in any concrete, systematic way that might have a lasting effect, just in a slapdash "it's Christmas we'll have a whip-round" kind of way that'll ensure that generations to come can freeze and starve to death

Lawyers on twitter saying this is an open and shut libel case. Corbyn's team has the interview recorded showing he didn't say it. Possible front page apology needed. Perhaps even Osborne stepping down depending on the circumstance of how this happened.

That would be extremely cool.

we definitely do not need to build high rises. we just need to build......... actual homes

imagine that

I was under the impression that high rises were a perfectly good way to build a lot of homes quickly and cheaply, as long as you provide the services they need. Like if you build a hundred two-bedroom detached houses and every house has a garden and a parking space, that's all very well. But what often happens is a high-rise block of a hundred two-bedroom apartments get built, but no park to replace the garden, or parking spaces for the cars, and things like that mean the apartments get seen as lovely places to live.

I don't know poo poo about architecture, but it seems like three hundred people in individual housing units with individual heating, electricity and water provision has to be less efficient from an ecological standpoint that three hundred people sharing communal heating, water and electricity systems, too.

I would just like a place to live and call my own.

I think this is the key. If it's a choice between:

1. Good homes but some people are homeless

2. Bad homes and nobody is homeless

Then I'm going to go with option 2. Obviously the best is "The best homes possible in the budget while ensuring nobody is homeless" but that's such an obvious statement it's kinda pointless to say it.

God dammit why didn't we buy a "register to vote" banner for SA and link it to gov.uk

It's too late now

What are you talking about? You can still register to vote for the next 27 hours.
