Re: Election 2019 - Week 3

Quote from The Sun:
Mr Corbyn’s £11billion raid on oil companies’ profits could kill off 120,000 jobs and send the price of petrol soaring, according to experts.

It could be the final nail in the coffin for the hard-left leader’s hopes of becoming PM as a poll reveals Britain’s motorists are abandoning his party in their droves.

Last night a survey of more than 52,000 drivers for The Sun laid bare how unpopular the plans are.
The poll by FairFuel UK found that just seven per cent of motorists are now planning to vote Labour in next month’s election.

In contrast, 47 per cent of drivers plan to back the Tories, who are expected to announce a further freeze in fuel duty when they launch their manifesto on Sunday.

Even die-hard Labour voters said they no longer trust the party on motoring issues, with nearly four out of five traditional Labour-voting drivers saying they will abandon the party in the December 12 poll.
Motorists are also voters. From the same link:

Quote:
Oil economics expert Professor Alex Kemp, from Aberdeen University’s Business School, also called the tax “misguided”.

He said it risked our chance to “maximise economic recovery”.

And Tory Colin Clark, standing for re-election as MP for Gordon in Aberdeenshire, said: “It’s no exaggeration to say that Corbyn’s plans could turn the taps off for Scotland’s vital oil and gas industry.

“Labour’s manifesto is Scotland’s oil obituary. This windfall tax would threaten more than 100,000 jobs in Scotland — many of which are based in and around Aberdeen.”
One in the eye for Krankie then.
