Elections are very expensive as are referendum, it has to be one or the other ...or wait for the result of the supreme Court and we may get 2 for the price of one

Is it only me that feels a neutral stance from a leader is the fairest as the voters of all parties will be a mixed bag of leave and remain. It makes sense democratically not to ignore leave voters as that was the result of the referendum, quite rightly it makes a mockery of any vote to ignore the result. However at the same time you have to protect the agreements, rights and regulations we have currently in our best interests if a leave agreement does not do this then the next best option is to remain.
Corbyn is saying his he was in the position he would attempt to amend the deal to include protections for all, but if that is no longer the will of the people we stay... What's wrong with that? It's clear, fair and balanced. Obviously in the UK we just don't recognise that any longer. We literally are brexit crazy.

The Waltons are one of the richest families in the world, and yet their workers often rely on government support to live. Are you happy with your taxes making sure they get to keep all of their hundreds of billions?

You know what would help solve this? Unionised workers to fight for liveable wages so they wouldn't have to rely on our taxes.

The four day week thing would really only affect "white collar" jobs. I wonder if it would affect schools - the kids in the behaviour unit don't like weekends or school holidays because they're not allowed or capable in some cases to go out unsupervised, and there aren't enough clubs etc for them as it is.

Didn't there used to be half-day closing for some jobs, on Wednesday or Thursday?

I don't agree with a 4 day week. I do in principle, but it would be too difficult to implement properly. Think it's just one of those campaign promises that all parties make, but will suddenly disappear the minute they were elected.

It's not 4 day week but 32 hours week

Noble aim but how would that be possible?

We were promised computers and technology would give us more leisure time but it never happened
