Anecdotal but in 1997 almost all of my friends voted for Labour.

Of the same group of people in 2017 all but one of them voted for Labour. The one who did not is the only one who is still doing the same dead end job they were doing 20 years ago.

A lady I know was Labour through to the core until 5 years ago when they first voted Conservative and would not dream of voting Labour again.

I think that there are a lot of people in the under 35 age bracket that have little appreciation of the situation between 1997 and 2010 and how we went from being very nicely off thank you to almost as big a basket case as most of Europe because we spent every penny in the good times.

I think that the magic bean tree and money plant that the Labour Party seem to find will be almost impossible to resist at the next election (outside factors not intervening) and then we will have 5 years of being reminded that Labour are slightly worse at running the county than the NHS is at introducing a World Leading IT system.

I would suggest not, otherwise you would observe an inexorable rise in labour support over time as each generation provides more 'young people' to vote Labour - and with each generation, more people go to uni.

People clearly change their voting habits as they get older and there is no reason to assume that won't happen to the young people of today, much as it has for the many generations previously.

Is it not a case the the older you are the more likely you are to have lived through the last labour st storm and therefore inclined to stop it happening again?

Certainly is for me........

Experience is what you get when you don't want it!!

So true!!

JC distraught at the scene of tne latest terrorist incident.

Anyone else find it unseemly how quickly both JC and May are to get to the s ene of these incidents all of a sudden?

Not thay May has much choice, as JC is on tne scene very quickly since the election.

He'll be on tne scene of car accidents and muggings next.
Wailing in pain at the suffering.

Are people really that gullable?
Yep.

In fairness to him, the mosque is in his constituency. However, do MPs normally turn up that quickly?

I would guess it's the fact he sees himself as the "true PM" and he should be given the chance to form a government (according to him and his mass of followers!), he probably thinks by being on the scene will somehow give him more of a 'claim" to the post. All in his deluded little mind

Still electioneering, Mr Corbyn never had a black suit until just before the election, now he does not want to revert back to his jumpers and casual wear.

Made me chuckle too......

For the younger PH'rs

Oh, my old man's a dustman,
He wears a dustman's hat,
He wears cor-blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat.

Sleeps with his crash hat on, and an extra 20psi in his bicycle tyres? Improved response times at no cost to the taxpayer
