Sounds like a fun event.
Politicians should be banned from the internet
Then you really need to think a bit harder:
1. You are saying that no straight white men are disabled.
2. You are saying that straight white trans men are not really men
3. It is a conference to vote on the representatives for said minority groups.
4. “It’s discrimination, no-one over 27 can attend this young labour event”
What? Are you talking about me here or the event?
I think the event is fine.
I read your initial post as “I don’t agree with the event but it’s Young Labour not the whole party”.
On rereading I think it was ambiguous as to whether you are disagreeing with the event or disagreeing with Guido’s article. If I guessed / assumed wrong, apologies.
Why would anyone who isn't voting for representatives be there?I don't have any problems with the event - it's a solid idea, I just disagree with excluding a particular group of people from said event when it's in the name of equality. Guido is shite as well but was the first source I saw for this one.
Why would anyone who isn't voting for representatives be there?
they have online voting where people are elected to positions that deal with those issues, not that it matters, it's young labour, basically a fan club for young nerdsSurely if you're appointing equalities officers there should be ones for all groups? Naturally white men have a disproportionate number of advantages compared to other social groups but there are still issues they face - suicide rates being higher, poor working-class men struggling economically/professionally etc.

this particular event is to elect people from groups who are historically underrepresented, you could make an argument for lower class representatives, but that is literally the whole point of the labour party to begin with
On average, a boy born in one of the most affluent areas will outlive one born in one of the poorest by 8.4 years.
That was up from 7.2 years in 2001, the Longevity Science Panel (LSP) found.
...
The study also found:
- Girls born in the top fifth of areas on average live 5.8 years longer than those born in the bottom 20% - up from a five-year gap in 2001
- For a 60-year-old man the difference is five years - up from 4.1 in 2001
- For women of the same age it is 4.2 years - up from 3.1
Obvious attempt to try and engage with the youth.
It was fully costed in the manifesto, wasn't it?Corbyn's not learning is he? Come the election he's going to be sat in front of interviewer after interviewer asking him how much will this cost and how will he raise the money for it, and he'll reply with waffle and 'it's an aspiration', except they won't let it go, because his twitter will still be there. He's looking as stupid as Trump when it comes to twitter.
There are open goals to be had on student loans, he should stick to them, such as why should interest rates be higher than inflation, and why is the living element of the loan not large enough to pay for accomodation and day to day living costs.

I ended up severely mentally ill, referred to psychiatrists, and still recovering several years later. I tried to kill myself four times that I remember under austerity policies, being continuously maliciously investigated for my benefits (curiously always coinciding with me writing something negative about the local Council on my well-read political blog I wrote from the gallery of the local public meetings), having housing benefit withdrawn over a dozen times, leading to my eviction from my home, and in such horrific debt it took two books to finally emerge from the other side of it. Not credit cards or frivolity; but water bills, bounced gas and electric, rent arrears, and bank charges. I still can’t even open my own front door, scarred as I am by penny pinching pissy policies devised over £39 breakfasts by those who think nothing of spending £6,000 of taxpayers money on a dining table for their second home while loftily declaring that the poor can live on 1% of that figure for an entire week. To be used as their ‘poster girl’ for frugality by such obscene hypocrites offends me to my burned and shattered core.

The promise to cut tuition fees was costed in the manifesto.
The aspiration was to write off all outstanding student debt. The one thing that is ridiculous about attacking Labour for "how will you fund that aspiration", is how the feck are the Conservatives going to fund that reality either.
The current system is a confusing mess, but given the repayment thresholds and interest rates (you need to be earning £35k plus to just hit the yearly interest payments, let alone touch the balance) most students are going to end up having a huge amount of debt written off in 30 years. It's classic short-termist politics. Make the public finances look better by taking the funding off the current books and kicking it 30 years and many elections into the future, all while attacking Labour for "how will you fill this black hole of debt". No Conservatives/Lib Dems, how the feck will you fill it.
At least we can be sure UKIP aren't making a comeback anytime soon.
What the actual feck?!![]()
Looks like there is a chance he's about to become Corbyn's lawyers' too.Ben Bradley is my absolute favourite Tory.
He's part of the Tories' carefully planned campaign to both improve their social media presence and engage young people, you know.Looks like the tweet has magically disappeared.![]()
