I'm instead focusing on being fairly open minded on it, recognising that I think it would provide a great opportunity for many younger people and perhaps help to bring society together a little.

I think anything said in an election is typically I'll thought out and chaotic, but I do think in principle, depending how it was implemented, it's a good thing.
I did focus on the messaging....well spotted!

I am also interested in the funding. 60% of the Ł2.5 billion a year supposedly to come from the Levelling Up fund, which I thought previously you were a major advocate of. I guess that was then this is now.

Given the polls this is unlikely to get off the ground but if it did wouldn't it result in a 1 year hiatus of people previously going directly into the jobs market being diverted to worthy causes?
