Can't just be me that thinks Corbyn nailed it.

I am so happy he mentioned the Saudi connection and the 'sensitive report'

What angers me is that Labour are making this about their opposition to the SNP, rather than forging a progressive alliance. They are even encouraging folks to back Conservatives tactically to keep the SNP out.

If Corbyn is now proposing that it will be the first piece of sense from him.

A "progressive alliance" is a load of tosh. Sturgeon is only interested in 1 thing.

Not all of Corbyn's polices are mad, no, but the implementation is the key - and I don't trust him. Let's take corporation tax which I agree in the grand scheme of things perhaps the tories didn't need to cut - why is he putting that back up to 26p at precisely the point where Brexit will kick in?

So much of these policies depends on skilful, slow, tested and sensible implementation and I don't see that Corbyn's team has this.

I do hate these people that only bang on about one issue, i agree.

Well I'm happy to debate many of Corbyn's policies which aren't being sensibly handled.

there are quite a lot of people on MN who can detect a teenager talking shit better than a police dog can smell drugs.

I can't stand Jeremy Corbyn. He, like most mps, has never had a proper job. He reminds me of a seedy old lecturer.
Doesn't change the fact that we are not going to time travel.
Oh and my parents first house cost 8 grand in the 70s. They got a mortgage on one not amazing salary. If we could time travel to that I'd be laughing.

What Theresa May has announced is an attack not only on our rights as citizens, but an attack on the rule of law itself.

No person, no government is above the law.

"I can't stand Jeremy Corbyn. He, like most mps, has never had a proper job. He reminds me of a seedy old lecturer."

Agreed!

He's a kind of socialist Trump - he has no government experience and limited party backing. His strength is that he's using his soapbox trade union skills to promise people an unaffordable future full of unicorns and rainbows. And he delivers it in two-syllable soundbites they can understand.

Still voting Labour! It's not unicorns and rainbows to recognise that the gap between rich and poor is getting bigger,that we have invested less in infrastructure than any other european neighbour, that if we lose the NHS we are fucked, that giant multi national corporations making money here should pay tax here and that a lot of people would quite like for our public services and assets to not be sold off to the lowest bidder. ..
I think those are all entirely logical and economically sensible notions. I can put up with JC if we get even half that.
I don't know about the free uni fees but doubt that would ever happen tbh.

The future is going to be unaffordable when we Brexit anyway. Might as well stand up for decency and human rights and attempt to reconcile with our European allies and trading partners rather than side with the loathed Maybots. Labour all the way.

that's as may be citroen, but it doesn't make sense to make a bad situation worse by stifling the private sector with large wage cost hikes and whacking corporation tax back up exactly when Brexit will bite, oh and expanding the state in many ways that won't be properly paid for - 'free' tuition, renationalizations etc.

Yes, you can not like KC and still vote for housing, education and health.

Actually, large wage costs hikes will benefit real people. So will NHS investments. So will free tuition. So will a properly negotiated Brexit instead of this inane posturing. Enough is enough.

it won't benefit real people if they lose their jobs. Thank goodness this election is nearly over, let's hope for better choices next time.
