Probably unpopular, but...
Labour leaders win from the centre. Corbyn’s only hope was to unite the left and hoover up support from the Lib Dem’s and Greens.
His lack of leadership on Brexit has wrecked his credentials, if he really wanted a Labour government he should step aside.

There'll be lots of happy Crystal Palace fans if Roy Hodgson is replaced, but I'd rather reflect on what he delivered:

- worked with limited funds

Some of the graduates who never pay back their loans are nurses and social workers. Because they never earn enough to cover the cost.
Are these rip off degrees? I’d argue they are essential and demonstrates why degrees need to be judged by more than just how much you earn.
Too many students are being sold a university education that won't get them a decent job at the end of it.
So I'm cracking down on rip-off degrees and boosting apprenticeships to ensure students get the best deal possible.
Widening access. Boosting jobs. Growing the economy.
