Do not want her as the labour leader but wish she changed places with Jeremy Corbyn and became my MP. Her constituency is thriving where ours with Jeremy became one of the most crime infested, dirtiest, and segregated areas in London.

Because she knows no one will vote for her?

Because Emily wants to resign she thinks it for the best she does

Keir Starmer calls for end to 'scandal' of spiralling student debtLabour leadership frontrunner would keep party’s policy of scrapping tuition fees Good stuff. Needs to presented with a rebalancing of further education. FE and vocational routes have been needlessly trashed in favour of increasing the numbers attending university. Must change. Hey, I’ve got a great idea on how to do it! Don’t charge students anything, but after graduation, charge them an extra, say, 9% tax on earnings over £25k, so they can contribute to their own education. If they don’t earn a high enough salary, they don’t get charged :-) Great headline catching plan BUT what about existing debt. What? Oh! Too difficult you say.
