Labour manifesto leaked bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39877439 >Fines for businesses that pay their staff high wages and a business levy on profits. >Tax hikes on self employed. >£250 billion more borrowing over a decade for social policies. >60% of all energy must come from renewable sources. >Nationalise energy firms, royal mail, bus firms and railways. >protect the right to "a nomadic way of life" and support gypsies, travellers and the Roma community. >Raise the minimum wage to the level £10 per hour by 2020. >Labour will establish a National Investment Bank financed with an injection of public capital. >The party will also create a Ministry of Labour to hand more power to trade unions. >No plan to reduce migration rates.
>For the last six general elections, the polling average 50 days before the election has always been wrong – although this has always given Labour a more generous vote share.
Disgusting behaviour for a woman who should be standing up for the people, not damn well cowering away from us. Representatives should be held accountable by those they represent. If she were employed, she'd be out of a job for not fulfilling her job requirements.
The fact that she could win this election without talking to a single member of the public. That's a failure of our dismal media, they should be tearing her to shreds over this. She should be accountable, her actions should be questioned.
Oh well, the public won't give a shit anyway. The media has complete control over the narrative now.
If the press had any honour, they wouldn't have spent the last decade or so pushing anti-intellectualism, or scapegoating immigrants and benefits claimants, and the British public wouldn't be wrong about nearly everything. Brexit probably wouldn't have happened either.
Police get plenty of money, as do schools. They just need to waste less of it. All a policeman needs is a bicycle and a club.

May has always been an authoritarian hag. Snoopers and extended hate speech laws are all her handiwork, and she was also pushing ID cards for years.
Why does this circus surprise people? Hopefully one of the journalists has the stones to go off script.

Same for schools. All you need is a teacher.
However, if you want a good Ofsted (and keep your job) rating then you need to be interactive and engaging, and tailor the teaching to each child's needs. It's absolute lunacy
Ofsted needs to go

Shy Tory effect going to knock Labour down to 1/4 of the vote in England.
Those actual leaked Labour policies stated on the BBC page:
>Spend an extra £8bn on social care over the next Parliament >Refuse to make "false promises" on immigration >Stress that any leader should be "extremely cautious" about using Trident nuclear weapons, which leader Jeremy Corbyn opposes >Strengthen trade union rights - including increased unionisation across the workforce and repealing last year's Trade Union Act >Scrap the public sector pay cap and reintroduce national pay bargaining >Ban so-called "zero hours" contracts >Increase income tax for the highest-earning 5% to raise an extra £6bn for the NHS >Build at least 100,000 council and housing association houses a year >Reserve 4,000 homes for rough sleepers >at least one publicly-owned energy supplier in every region of the country, with the government controlling the transmission and distribution grids. >restates the existing policy to renew Trident but commits a Labour government to a defence review >policy of rail nationalisation when train operators' franchises run out "has been Labour Party policy for a number of years"
Dominic Miller
Do people actually like Corbyn's manifesto? I'm pretty sure it's just Labour shills all over Facebook but I think some members of the public may just fall for the "free shit" policies.
Lincoln Myers
They call him the Geordie Breivik.
Kayden Perez
>so far most of the coverage is excellent
Thomas Perez
Ofsted is such a cabal it's insane how no one sees it. Why does there even need to be such a body when students are already tested?
Justin Long
This. I worked briefly with OFSTED and they are nothing but authoritarian rubber stampers. They know nothing about teaching.
Camden Bell
>Refuse to make "false promises" on immigration So hes not even going to pretend he will try to control it
Charles Powell
If we're heading for collapse (which we are) we might as well only live in poverty afterwards, rather than on both sides.
Anthony Cox
Vocal minority. The last time labour were this left wing we go this.
Tyler Sanders
If the public falls for Tory lies AGAIN then this country is officially doomed.
David Sanders
These policies are wrong at a time when negotiations with the EU are still going on, but the public has been let down by both sides because the government has acted in a reckless and provocative manner.
David Hall
>question a bullshit stat >get targetted threats of violence >many such cases, not just this one
Piers is pretty based for taking this one on.
Justin Adams
Lads what are the most intelligent reasons not to vote labour?
Samuel Wood
There are some aspects which speak to the naive socialist teenager in me
If we are to believe that the vast majority of UK adults are indeed 'mentally ill', then surely the situation is too bad to even attempt to change or properly discuss anyway?
Jeremiah Campbell
>Sources close to Jeremy Corbyn say "100 per cent" they did not leak it - and were shocked around 8pm last night to hear it had leaked.
>Sources close to both the party leader and the Unite leader Len McCluskey are pointing the finger at the party’s deputy leader, Tom Watson.
It's already begun
Asher Ramirez
Well those are definitely 2 of the 34 million. Care in the Community, what a fucking disaster.

Move to a country that actually does something about forced FGM, like Djibouti, Sudan, Burkina Faso or Mauritania.
Zachary Baker
>tfw finally get to watch a fascist conservative government while the stalinist labour opposition purges all dissidents
It's literally 'vote for me and get free shit, who cares about the debt. Your kids and pensions can pay it off'. The desperate and brainless will vote for it. It is also the final pathetic attempt for a failed party to save what seat's it can by focusing on the:
>Young, inexperienced vote >Far left Socialist/Gommie vote >Gibs me dat vote >Lazy worker vote >Corrupt union vote
They all deserve each other. Truly Labour has found it's core demographic.
Ryder Diaz
>Control the media >Control mass opinion >Strong and stable
Andrew Turner
No one is going to pay off the debt, user. It can't be paid off.
But enjoy austerity and living like a serf while you get nothing for it.
Caleb Peterson
>Voting age reduced to 16 in Labour manifesto
A small change but it would have huge repercussions. Unironically one of the more dangerous policies.
Grayson Fisher

Henry Watson
>Leanne on DP now
Would she let Are Neil slide up her dirty poop chute after the show ?
Luis Myers
Andrew Neil is so fucking biased towards Brexit. He demonstrated a total lack of knowledge about the negotiations and the Brexit sum on TW last week, by failing to get that the Member States (Poland, France and Germany) had demanded the Commission ask for that money, and kept trying to wheel out his tired demonic Brussels bureaucrat trope, despite the FT editor repeatedly telling him that isn't the story.
He demonstrated why this board should stop circle jerking over him being some rational voice.

Also why the fuck do we have to keep putting up with Plaid when they have such a tiny vote share and are only relevant to a tiny part of the population?
