Please, find me these videos and speeches of Corbyn (Or McDonnell) advocating armed violence from Irish Republicans to further the cause of a Ireland.
Further deflection from the fact the manifesto commitment was for 200 000 starter homes. None built to date.

1) the commitment was for a particular specification.
2) The specification couldn't be defined because of the sabotaging of Parliament by Labour and the Remainers. All activity had to used to try and stop that sabotage.
3) For the past few years, around 150,000 homes/year have been built.
4) since 2010, the social sector building has been more than any year of the previous Labour government.

Labour MP John McDonnell has admitted that his previous comments in support of the IRA helped foster religious division.
...
In the past Mr McDonnell has praised the IRA's bravery.
“The peace we have now is due to the action of the IRA. Because of the bravery of the IRA and people like Bobby Sands, we now have a peace process,” he once said.
He has since apologised for the comments.
Mr McDonnell also hung a plaque commemorating IRA and INLA hunger strikers, including Bobby Sands, in his London constituency office.
He accepted he had been "part of the problem" in the past.

John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, has apologised “from the bottom of my heart” for suggesting in 2003 that the IRA should be honoured for the bombings which brought the British government “to the negotiating table” during the Northern Ireland peace process.

Jeremy Corbyn has said he was present but not involved at a wreath-laying ceremony for members of the group that carried out the Munich Olympics massacre, who were killed in Paris in 1992....
Mr Corbyn wrote about the trip shortly afterwards in the Morning Star in October 2014. He said: “Wreaths were laid to mark the 1985 bombing of the PLO HQ and on the graves of others killed by Mossad agents in Paris in 1991.”

They're all examples of
active support.
Consider this, if Labour's spending had been such that they they left a deficit of zero, would the post-2010 government have added to the debt? The post-2010 deficit went down by a total of £600bn from the 2009/2010 borrowing level. That's an indication of how
much extra, continuing with the full level of Labour's spending would have added.
