Looks good from Corbyn. Good, simple Brexit policy, I will want some more details on the rest but superficially it looks like what we should be aiming for and Corbyn's campaign machine has experience with producing fully costed manifestos so I'm fairly sure he'll serve that up again.

 

 

Boris has a good simple Brexit policy too. :)

How's he going to pay for all that? Free childcare alone will cost billions.

 

The £10 ph minimum wage won't please McDonald's workers who want £15 lol.

I suspect there will be more detail on that front than the Tories provide for all their spending pledges.

I don´t suppose you question your best mates manifesto in the same way do you?

 

No didn´t think so.

 

Any thoughts your favorite party jeering Corbyn for wearing a green tie when he was in fact remembering the Grenfel victims the other day? You´d be the first on here whining and b*tching if Labour had done some something like that.

Corbyn made a speech earlier announcing some policy

Protect NHS in trade deal

 

Referendum on Brexit within 6 months with “sensible deal vs remain”

 

Tackling climate crisis, “green industrial revolution”, creating jobs

 

£10 minimum wage for all over 16

Free childcare for all 2-4 year olds (30h)

 

Adjusting tax rates for the rich and tightening tax dodging rules

 

Tackling dodgy landlords and rent prices

 

Scrapping universal credit

 

Free prescriptions for all.

 

A pretty good set of goals which could all be achieved in a 5 year term.

Yes they made a genuine mistake and didn't realise he was wearing it for that reason.

Well, I am sure you would have said the same had it been Labour backbenchers.

So you think it's OK for adults to jeer at somebody's choice of tie? You think that is the sort of behaviour we want from parliamentarians? I would prefer to see MPs with a mental age slightly higher than eight.

I was literally about to post this.

Seeing as it’s all recycled from snp.org/record just check the Scottish Government budget and you’ll see how it’s financed 👍🏻

 

All of these policies are affordable and don’t forget that things like a £10 minimum wage increase the number of people over the threshold for tax and push more people further beyond the threshold thus increasing the tax take as a whole allowing things like free childcare to be funded. Free childcare also enables more women to return to work again increasing the tax take for the country.

 

None of that is particularly radical tbh

No I don't and Theresa May put them in their place apparently.

Not quite. Yes, she told them why Corbyn was wearing that particular tie, but she didn't do or say anything to suggest that she thought their behaviour was childish,

 

BTW, it's interesting to see that it looks like May will be standing again. If the Tories form a government, will she a loyal backbencher or a thorn in Johnson's side?

:rofl:

 

 

I want to know if he still intends to scrap the WCA, work capability assessment, and pass the responsibility for deciding if someone's fit to work back to GP's

I don't think I've ever seen a clearer representation of how threatened right-wing stooges feel by Corbyn. The lack of response, the scrambling to find things that are bad about that list. It's like you've been told he's a monster but can't square that with his pretty sensible reality. No, wait, that's exactly it.

You would never see Vidcapper or Boris' B*tch posting anything remotely critical about them in anyway shape or form. Then they try and have us believe that they are objective. :lol:

 

I don't suppose you would react the same way had such a post been made about Boris....but apparently you're not a tory :rolleyes:

 

I'm not a Tory, just an economic realist.

On which planet? :teresa:

AFAICS, nothing that Corbyn is promising can be achieved without massive tax hikes, and they never raise as much as it is claimed, as they cause massive avoidance.

 

THe below refers to the US, but the principle examples apply to Britain too...

I've never claimed to be objective, but then again, nor are the Labour supporters here :rolleyes: - I am simply anti-Corbyn, rather than pro-Tory, and I cut Boris slack *only* because I seem him as the most likely person to push Brexit through.

I'm not a Tory, just an economic realist.

 

An 'economic realist' would want to see the impact assessment of the Johnson deal, as well as wonder why the government is preventing publication of the budget report.

False. Plenty of us have been critical of Corbyn and Labour and will continue to do so when necessary. Even Michael was criticising Labour for agreeing to an early election and not pushing harder for 16-year-olds to vote.

 

£100 million spent on the 'Get Ready for Brexit' campaign, the millions wasted on coins that had to be destroyed, billions on No Deal preparations, and so on. That is some massive slack cutting for an 'economic realist'.

Ah Ok. So then presumably as an economic realist you must wonder why Boris won´t publish the impact assessments of his amazing deal?

 

As an economic realist you must also see why no deal should be taken off the table completely because of how disruptive it would be to the lives of many?

 

No?

It wouldn't have been wasted if parliament hadn't blocked it :teresa:

Blocked because of questionable undemocratic actions by the government, so it all comes back to them.

 

*Awaits post about democracy and 17.4m yada yada yada and how they all knew what they were voting for etc etc* :)
