Oh hang on the The business minister Kwasi Karteng has decided that us the voters have no right to know what the Conservative financials figures are as well.

The Guardian article prints Javid's response on the Conservative spending plans:

Javid says what comes in in taxes will match the day-to-day spending. We may borrow £20bn to fund capital investments “but we can afford to do that”.

The detail of that will be set out in the manifesto, so this nonsense has been blown up out of proportion. We all know that it is Labour's spending plans that are the ones to watch. Labour cannot be trusted on the economy, and with Corbyn and McDonnell in charge they will oversee spending like nobody has seen before.

I wonder if McDonnell has taken possession of his new money printing machine yet...

What little remaining state assets that can have profit extracted from them will be privatised. The NHS falling prey to US venture capitalists and insurance companies.
Given what you said about Labour's plans, I really need to point out that using the same logic, what you have said cannot possibly be true, because it's not in their manifesto.

As it happens, it isn't true anyway.
