Insulation for war veterans for free. Such a good policy for the people that have given so much to us to live in a free world. They should not go cold in the winter.

Funded by taxing Amazon, Google and people earning over 80k! Biscuit back at you

Who funds all this? Don't say high earners because that will push them all out of the uk

LurpakIstheOnlyButter · 11/05/2017 08:19

Well if we stop wasting billions on nuclear weapons that we can't and won't use as they will result in our own destruction there will be more than enough Money to pay for everything in that pledge.

Makes a bit of a mockery of may's cap on energy bills

ThisIsStartingToBoreMe · 11/05/2017 08:20

No nuclear weapons?????

No thank you - having nuclear weapons is probably the only thing that's kept us safe and peaceful these last 50 years.

Kinnock wanted to disarm this country once - it cost him dearly.

LurpakIstheOnlyButter · 11/05/2017 08:21

And why do people object to the to richest paying more tax? Surely that is fair. They won't all get up and leave. Ridiculous suggestion.

That's a myth that high earners will just move with a tiny tax increase, these people mostly have lived and commitments and are not nomads.

Exactly butter!

I'm a leftie. But I won't be voting labour- they're a total shambles at the moment, which is a shame. Don't know who to vote for now- lib Dem maybe.

PotteringAlong · 11/05/2017 08:23

I'm quite happy we've got nuclear weapons - I would base my vote on this issue alone. Mutually Assured Destruction has kept us safe for the last half a century and I hope it carries on doing so.

ThisIsStartingToBoreMe · 11/05/2017 08:24

Yeah that's right. Start spouting off about how labour are gonna disarm this country, see how far they get then.

UrsulaPandress · 11/05/2017 08:24

This is light hearted I presume?

Duchessofjam · 11/05/2017 08:24

OP, I totally agree with you. I will be contacting my local labor party and volunteering to campaign for them on the strength of these policies which have been leaked!

For those who complain about how it's all going to get paid for remember that the Tories have plenty of money to fund weapons of mass destruction and tax cuts for wealthy individuals and businesses not to mention the huge costs of a hard Brexit.

This manifesto is wonderful for the UK.

LaurieMarlow · 11/05/2017 08:24

It does sound absolutely marvellous. If I thought for a second he could pull it off.

I'm glad he went big though. Makes it a more interesting contest.

This is the draft manifesto, yes?

It's all lovely, but a perfect illustration of why Corbyn won't get in. It's like a kid playing 'if I ruled the world'.
'Tax the rich' isn't a budget, it's a war cry. He needs properly thought through ideas.

They won't ALL get up and leave, but A LOT will especially as the companies they work for will also have to pay a lot more tax (a third more) - then add Brexit on top. So the companies will leave. Why would you stay in an uncertain, high tax economy?.

Out of curiosity is Dianne Abbott (who in herself is a reason to never vote labour and is I suspect TMs secret weapon) in charge of the addy ups?

UrsulaPandress · 11/05/2017 08:28

I'm confused by the increased rights for the Roma. Could you expand op?
