Young people could have a nasty surprise for Theresa May. And this 21-year-old travelled 540 miles to prove it

Young people could be holding the key to Number 10 today as we go to the polls. There has been much written about the youth vote and the possibility that young people could swing this election.

BREAKING: The High Court just delivered a major blow to Owen Smith’s leadership chances

Five new members of the Labour Party have just defeated the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) in the High Court.

These young women are asked why they don't vote, their replies are brutally honest

A sea of lies, political jargon and boring speeches. This is what makes politics seem so pointless to so many young voters. And this is precisely what a group of young women recently told Shadow Minister for Young People and Voter Registration, Gloria de Piero, when asked why they didn't vote.
