So after all the fuss Corbyn's just decided he didn't say/mean he'd pay off student debts despite the fact that that was the clear implication in what he said and none of his colleague did anything to dispel that notion before the election. Either he's lying or he was happy to deliberately mislead people into voting for Labour under a misapprehension of what was their policy. All this despite a number of post election comments by senior Labour figures who certainly didn't claim that it was all a misunderstanding.

He's been caught out yet again. Making stuff up, promising to deliver what he knows he can't and now he's been rumbled and his broken 'promise' has gone viral he's in panic mode denying it all. What exactly did he mean when he talked about 'dealing with' the problem of existing student debt then? At no point before the election can I recall him challenging all the questions about how much his 'pledge' was going to cost etc. on the basis that it had been misrepresented by his political opponents and the media.
Having stood at PMQ's so many times representing himself and his party as occupying the moral high ground, those of us who didn't already know it ought now to be able to see the truth about Corbyn.

That's not the message Labour gives us when they're condemning the private education sector is it. They whine on and on about privilege ad nauseam whilst quietly enjoying plenty of it for themselves and their own. Principles? Yeah right.
