The 'impartial bbc' at work again during an general election campaign period Jim? I wonder when Jeremy Corbyn will appear on the same bbc prog next?

Does this latest pro UK gov decision surprise anyone? The words 'f###### well at it' come to mind but the Toerags still have to answer a charge of by election rule violations as well - lets see what form of indemnification can be 'dreamed up' by their backers!

So Labour's draft manifesto has been leaked! The abolition of tuition fees has to be applauded and will be backed by lotsa betrayed people in the UK who previously believed a bunch of liars called Clegg and the libdems!!! Re nationalise the energy companies in this country? Sounds good to me as I'll never understand how it was ever allowed to have customers being 'ripped off' by all sorts of price variations while others are scampering around trying to find a new supplier and a better deal!! Can we just have a common pricing strategy and plough all profits back in to the industry itself. Re-regulate the railways and buses - again sounds good to me as 'rip off'prices prevail in the transport sector and the pricing/ticketing set up for railway travel is just a mish mash mess as many rail passengers will testify and have done for years!!

Though the internal leak was obviously meant to make Labour look chaotic, getting decent, honest and reasonably left-wing policies out there early can only be good.

Naturally it will confirm the Telegraph/Mail view that Mr Corbyn can't control his own party ....... but if he did exercise that kind of control the charge would be that he's a Stalinist. The other day Mr McDonnell was under fire for admitting to being influenced by Karl Marx. If you're a left-wing politician and you haven't been influenced by Marx you're in the wrong party. If having read Marx is a crime, every politics student in the country is going to jail (including Michael Gove!)

Unfortunately however brilliant the manifesto in draft or final form, I don't think it will be as influential as threatening to be a bloody difficult woman. I fear that one phrase will be worth a 100+ majority.

Loads of great policies there,and finally a labour leader turns his back on serving up the same shite as the tories.

The tories are the biggest con act in uk politics, The English will give them a huge majority though.

Great policies funded by what? The rich will leave these shores faster than you can say Corbyn wins, business will lay off workers by the score. He has been endorsed by the Communist party and the vast amount of his own MP's don't support him, not even mentioned him in their campaign literature. If that is what you want vote for it. By the way Corbyn visited a country which he considered to be an economic success story, that country was Venezuela where inflation is now between 700% to 2000%.
Vote Labour get free money until it runs out, it's a manifesto which would absolutely wreck this country. As former Tories being con merchants which party lied about weapons of mass destruction.
More chance of me being PM

The money should come from a massively serious policy to tackle the tax fraud/avoidance in this country for starters!!!! It's reckoned such fraud costs the UK about £20B-£30B pa and a fraction of that money could cover such decent policies! Why is it that the Tories have not even 'scratched the surface' on corporate tax fraud alone in all these years of govt? You know exactly why that is and I call it 'guilt by association'!!! Lastly, the NLP will shortly publish their back up financial figures to counter the expected criticisms no matter what policies they introduced anyway!! As though the Tories are actually doing a spiffingly good job btw!!! Are they f### and I hope the opposition parties start hitting them with the criticisms that are deserving of said condemnation - there's a lotta 'ammunition' to fire at the Toerags!!

Its funny how funding is now important ? 750 billion down the shitter with Osborne is ok though.

Zero questions on that though.

And what's the alternative? Vote Tory and get more and more cuts, more cuts to the NHS, more cuts to public services. We've tried austerity and Dickensian economics and its not working. The only way we can get the economy moving is if we start investing money.

We are the 6th richest country in the World and people are using foodbanks, homelessness is on the rise while the top 5% are doing better than anyone else. It was the banks which crashed the economy in 2008 and what happened? The British public had to bail them out and why did the banks crash the economy it was because of deregulation. Thatcher started deregulation, Blair carried it on and Brown tried to do something about it when the crash happened.

When Labour left office in 2010 the National debt was £979.8 billion the National debt as it stands now is £1,731.4 trillion. The Tories had added £800 billion to the National debt that's more than the combined total of every single Labour Government in history.

European countries there corporation tax is 26% our corporation tax is 17%. Yet France, Germany still get investment from industries and they create jobs.

Debt under Labour startedat 300,000 million as you say ended up at 978.9 million so technically trebled under Labour. Remember no more boom or bust, Labour blamed the banks, however Labour should have kept their eye in the ball but didn't.
So your quite happy to have a Prime Minister who shared a platform with the IRA during the troubles. Going back to the debt how much interest do you think we have to pay each month we are still borrowing to pay it off.
For all his promises no one knows where all the money to pay for them is going to come from.

You only have to look at France under Hollande 70% highest rate of tax what did many businesses down relocated to Britain.
Corbyn and McDonnell wrote Michael Foot's manifesto and the Tory majority was 144.

Yes Labour have said they want to get after the likes of Philip Green who incidentally was knighted by er Labour.
As for the opposition the SNP have only one plolicy independence nothing else, the left thinks money grows on trees, soak the rich they'll pay for it. Ever time Labour leave Government unemployment is over 3/4 million.
Excuse my ignorance NLP what's that?
