Ha ha...she back tracked on most questions she was asked about when she helped the Tories vote through what they wanted in a coalition.....
Definitely not to be trusted any more than Boris or Jeremy..lol.

In fairness Kerr, Labour aren't proposing 1%across the board I presume for that very reason. Even with the proposed rises on high earners, the tax increase is only a small proportion of what they have costed.

In short it would take us from an average investor in public services into the top band along with Germany, with tax rates on income and corporates being the same. As I've said many times, you can say money will fly, but it needs to be able to fly to that is cheaper, and not many countries are cheaper than what Labour are proposing for any tax payers.

I have several issues with the labour manifesto. The broadband, free higher education for higher income families, free dental treatment for the same. If like to see those means tested and less on tax if that would make a realistic difference.

But speaking as someone whose every family member now works in the public sector or charities, something radical has to be done as services are desperately short. I'm all for you dissecting suggestions that any party puts forward, but if like to hear more from you about how the huge finances can be raised to improve services? Even the government have given up on the idea of tax cuts for corporations as a means of raising money (although they will once voted in I'm sure) so how else do you think we can do it?

Kerr’ I did say IF it raised £40b. Wasn’t really the point I was making.

Raging, I see Labour are not proposing 1p across the board.

You’ll have your fingers crossed you miss the earnings threshold any extra taxation kicks in.

Spending other people’s money and all that 🤔

Can you seriously take that manifesto seriously?

Talk about blind faith.

Tough audience.

I need help gents. I'm really struggling to decide who to vote for.
Boris the bafoon is full of lies and is one person I would never want as a leader.
Corbin would either revoke article 50 or come up with such a poor deal the 2nd referendum would have no choice but to vote remain.
Jo leading the LD is going to get one of the lowest number of seats that I can recall.
Farage and the brexit party. He always talks a good session but he's like a snake. .

What I think will happen is labour/SNP and prob LD will team up in the red corner and cons and brexit party in the blue corner. We will be back to square one.

FT "If Labour’s proposals for public spending were implemented they would add a little over 6 percentage points to the share of public spending as a proportion of gross domestic product, raising the level to roughly 44 per cent. That figure is not out of line with countries such as Germany and still below France."

It's all a bit crap isn't? I can't say that I want either Johnson or Corbyn to be PM.

I fear a further hung Parliament and yet more uncertainty.

I thought that she did ok in the face of an unsympathetic audience. Coalition government means compromise and compromise means that you don't always get what you want.
