This feels like a big shift for it actually to happen, but I think it’s the right decision overall.

The idea that 16 legally a person can (with some caveats) live independently in their own home and raise a family, and pay all the relevant tax along the way, but not have their say in elections has always seemed incongruous to me. It’s the young who feel the political outcomes the longest after all.

How many young people will actually turn out is another question politically though.

Younger people still trend left, but they also may trend lefter than Labour. Which could mean more splitting of the overall vote and more unpredictability with our FPTP system.

I thought the size of carry on luggage was checked at check in before boarding. It was the last time I flew.
