  2. what's your point I heard him on the radio this morning and fully agree with him this has nothing to do with what other countries do this is the quote Keir Starmer was quick to stress that the party has no “settled policy” during a phone-in on LBC radio this morning, but set out the case for widening the franchise to both groups. Starmer noted that EU nationals are already permitted to take part in local elections. “If someone has been here say ten, 20, 30 years, contributing to this economy, part of our community, they ought to be able to vote”. Starmer said EU citizens he had spoken to on the doorstep made that point. “That feels wrong, and something ought to be done about it.” On votes at 16 and 17, Starmer argued it was not such an “outlandish idea” given that it is already permitted in Wales and Scotland.

  9. Try blaming the government instead it has nothing to do with immigrants, during the Blaire / Brown Years average wages increased by +25% Cameron / Osborne where all in on Zero Hour Gig work and deliberately left a regulatory black hole which companies exploited fetching in millions on contracts that UK workers wouldn't accept. The companies offshored all their profits and the the Cons went about blaming migrants for their own handy work.
