@SamCoatesSky @SkyNews What an arrogant argument. People aged 35 & under have suffered 2008 crash, austerity, Brexit, COVID, Johnson's disgrace, Truss crashing economy & housing rents robbing them of security. Frankly parliament would be much better off full of compassionate, determined young people
