I'm one of them. Tell me why I'm wrong :)

I'm sorry if you read it as patronising, sometimes tone of voice is tricky to gauge when a conversation isn't spoken. It wasn't my intention. I welcome differing views, as long as they're well argued.

[emoji1303] yeah, always winging about not being able to afford a home and being trapped in rented.. bloody snowflakes. Not like the generation before them, with their jobs for life, affordable housing and retiring on full.. they had it tough. [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Leading us into Iraq was worse than his education policy. Iraq was a disaster. Between 1997 and 2007 the core “per pupil” funding rose by 48%. Class sizes reduced as a result of adding 35,000 more teachers over the same period. Teachers wages increased by 18% in real terms. The result? A 14%...

Record numbers of police, record numbers of nurses, the Good Friday agreement and peace in NI, SureStart centres, national minimum wage and a decade of economic prosperity. He was also an excellent public speaker who lead his party, rather than being lead by the cabinet/back benches. He would...

Poll to follow. Who, in your opinion, was the best British Prime Minister of the last 60 or so years? I'm not just interested in policies, but who lead their Government with aplomb? Who was the greatest orator? Who handled the dispatch box with ease? Who demonstrated composure in a crisis?
