None of these things are in the Labour manifesto.

You mean those glossy manifesto's produced by all political parties for general elections and then broken once they are elected into 10 Downing Street.

Well, just let's wait and see what happens if ever they get into power, shall we?

I will be one of the first to emigrate as I can see what will happen. I hope you enjoy hardship.

Hardship haha. Honestly, you're being awfully melodramatic here on the basis of very little.

At least the millions in poverty due to austerity have nothing to lose though.

Venezuela. The destination of Corbyn's dreams.

I am not the melodramatic type. You obviously haven't been listening very intently to Corbyn and McDonnell, have you? They would bring us to our knees.

Explain what policies in the Labour manifesto would do this, clearly outlining how they couldn't be fully costed.

We get it, you don't like state functions because there's profits that capitalists could cream off the top.

Nice diversionary tactic once more. It's all very tame and attacking obvious failures in privatisation and taxing the wealthy. What's not to like?

As an economist, you should know where that will lead...:rolleyes:

How is it diversionary? You're the one claiming Labour's Policies are perfectly fine, without any reference to what they are.

I'm saying they are quite tame. I challenge anyone to name an outlandish policy that will push me into hardship.

Er, you do realise there's a conference coming up where Momentum will tell them exactly what to do.
