They don't terrify Labour there has been a considerable demographic shift on who votes for them they attract educated younger voters

Its only out of hand because the Tories have made it so and Brexit has made the situation far worse were no longer in a host of international agreements

@pickleperryemz No they didn't Labour had some bad years because of the Iraq war but the numbers claiming asylum are pretty constant the last crisis was 2002 and now were seeing an across the board increase. Labour dealt with the last time this happened by fast tracking applications the Tories seem determined to gum up the system close down all legal routes for claims and let people rot in hotels for years on the government payroll then scream Rwanda at the top of their voice. This is a Tory problem made worse by Tory policies and Brexit

The demographic of who votes for Labour has been changing for a while their main base is educated younger voters

@laurencesmith1435 The trend has been going on for some time the right wing of politics offers nothing for younger voters support for the Conservatives dipped to 8% in the under 50's. If you want to conflate statistics with your personal views that's your problem and by the way transphobia is the politics of hate and division used by those who should know better

@laurencesmith1435 education teaches children critical thinking how to break down problems and form personal judgements based on evidence and facts This is generally at odds with more Conservative thinking which begs for easy solutions uniformity.

@laurencesmith1435 I'm retired I do voluntary work at my local secondary school helping with special needs children and your view appears to be one portrayed by sections of the media not grounded in the facts in my area

You get what you put in there's no end of appalingly bad bosses and managers out there blaming everyone else for thier failings

@captango So we go with the dregs of an English Nationalist party in UKIP who where aiming to hoover up the BNP National front crowd with toxic rhetoric over migration and freedom of movement, no thanks

@outofthetrash5925 points based systems are a waste of time we should be pushing for higher education standards the economy has normally needed more manual and trade workers

@outofthetrash5925 They do analysis of the polling data and the returns. The last survey YouGov did had 8% support for the Conservatives in the under 50's. With the minimum wage and school set at 18 over the Blair years education across the board has increased. Younger voters also grew up with Britain in the EU and aren't phased by freedom of movement or get triggered by dingy people. My parents were working class I'm not even though I've done my share of factory shifts and building site work when I was younger between University courses. Back in the day when the Tories didn't tax the snot out of students.

@outofthetrash5925 We want to improve the education of our own population increasing their skills not shipping in the finished product putting pressure on middle and higher earner incomes. I'm all for fruit pickers labourers etc.and free University

davecoyle4483 Cons had a load of Russian and hedge fund money last time I looked couldn't stand Corbyn glad they got rid of him. Last time I heard Tice he was spouting economic nonsense that sounded like it came out of the right wing think tanks that double as Rich people's lobby groups Anyone advocating for fracking must have a spanner loose its expensive dirty and only benefits large fossil

The difference in migration numbers between the last Labour government is there's been more during the last decade under Tory rule People come here because there's jobs blame the Tories if their low paid and they pursue policies that keep it that way
