It's in this mornings Telegraph too. Apparently some students at Cambridge have being boasting on 'social media' that they have voted twice.
It is illegal and they may be condemned by their own posts. I must say though Cambridge is supposed to attract the brightest of our youth. If they're stupid enough to boast about this perhaps Preston College of Further Education would be more suitable for them. |

People in poor health were more likely to vote Tory so this does not bode well for their respective futures. https://www.ft.com/content/dac3a3b2-...af89b?mhq5j=e1 |

I think it's far too simplistic to say that older people vote Conservative and young people vote Labour.
A better stereotype is to say that older people tend to vote the same as they've voted in previous elections (often regardless of policy shifts), whereas younger people (who have little or no voting history) tend to vote against the party that's currently in office. .

Raising pension age to 68 for those born in the 70s, that was very kept quiet until after the election wasn't it. All done to ease the burden on the younger generation they say? Wasn't that the idea of ending the triple lock which has now been dropped? |

The triple lock is f*cking nonsense, anyone with tuppence worth of sense knows that - so's the free bus pass, [ I've got one with my smug face on it] as is the 200 bangers heating allowance! All bribes from various parties over the years to buy the grey vote. Thank God I was born in 1950. |
