Swings and roundabouts.

Don't be obtuse. If only people of working age had voted the Tories would have lost the last election.

And I don't think we've ever had an older generation so well off who have benefitted from so many policies that they've then taken away from younger people, be it the benefits of the EU right down to free university education.

Why am I being obtuse? I didn't have a free university education. I also had no free child care.. My wife had to stay at home to look after them. We had to live on one wage.
Like I said swings and roundabouts

More than ever if anything. The Tories only got in last time because of the pensioner vote. People of working ages skewed massively to Labour.

Do you find figures a challenge?

The splits by age group are really not hard to find.

Labour only seem interested in race and gender politics these days. Not really a concern for 99% of people

More likely to be Labours shambollic Brexit policy and a leader that very few wanted anywhere near no 10.
Yes, the Tories do have a very strong share of the "silver" vote but, hopefully that may change when the financial screw is turned and everyone will be affected.
The triple lock will be gone and as we are now seeing, their manifesto doesn't count for too much.
