Jeremy Corbyn's £1.2TRILLION election bill revealed (that's £43,000 per household): Dossier exposes

Let's hope Gary Lineker is kicking in his tax

Clever to break that down in to an individual household bill rather than an almost unfathomable number.

or under tory proposals every person pays £22,000,wow lets get the drinks in

He can just borrow it. trump is borrowing nearly 5% of gdp a year and the right wingers think that's fine.

The height of Govt hypocrisy in more than one way.
Holding a gun to the head of the civil-servant number-cruncher was never likely to produce an accurate reading, and such a party-political assessment should never have been commanded; but all this at a time when Govt has done its best to suppress legitimate reports concerning the damage of Brexit and Russian interference in the 2016 referendum that spawned it.
But also, this Govt lost any pretence to good-housekeeping since being taken over by Eurosceptic evangelicals: £4b spunked in March and October on deadlines that didn't happen, £110 million spent on a "Get ready for Brexit, Oct 31st" propaganda.

Yes, surcharge Hilary Benn and Romantic Grieve.

Lol, bloody spell checker... Dominic Grieve!

The Saj - Rubber lips, fake news.

deary me , for every bad policy this government has the Labour Party manages to be worse

The spiv lie machine in full flow

Borrow in haste repent in leisure

The 1.2 trillion is just for their 2017 manifesto.

Corbyn added at least £200bn when he announced all GP surgeries, dental practices, opticians and chemists would be bought and given to the NHS.

Lord knows what the state owner drug companies will cost to set up.

I just need guidance to where one can make the most profit -SLURP!!

you've got to love these tory jokers indulge in fantasy island figures about a labour manifesto they havnt seen but wont comment on their spending or give an impact ass of their Brexit policy,after not so cleverly,s performance maybe they were just thrilled to find the studio,

The £1.2 trillion is just for the 2017 manifesto plus conference pledges.

Corbyn's pledge to have all NHS services delivered by NHS staff is an astronomical promise. It could cost an initial £0.5trillion in privatisations.

That's unusual for the Mail to produce such a one sided article, their fairness commissar must be on holiday!

No mention of the assets the nation will gain, and pass on to the next generation, along with the associated revenues, no mention of the stimulus to the economy  that such a mammoth investment will make, and the increase in personal wealth (most of which paradoxically will eventually go to the “already haves”), and of course the increase in tax revenues associated with the bump in GDP which such an investment will inevitably cause.

How remiss of them

Can Corbyn make the trains run on time?

In a rejuvenated economy we'll just "make the trains"

I've no doubt the present Labour Party will bankrupt the country if given the keys to Number 10 and Number 11; Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum and their motley crew of economic rejects and fantasists spend, spend and spend until the coffers become empty again just like the last time. They are very good at spending,...housekeeping is not in their vocabulary.

ex labour strikes again ffs

Oh dear, they have made you look like an over zealous useful pleb 1%er haven't they

All the dole bludgers and immigrants creaming themselves for free handouts galore.
Makes me feel physically sick

Britain will never fall for socialism
It's been the scourge and downfall of too many countries
It's the last thing hard working intelligent people crave.
Only the deadheads and the scroungers

Why is there not a mention of the tory £3.6 trillon bill on  here
They got to come out with it befor the election surely
or have the russians told them  not to.

There are people on this forum who still believe in trickle down, which is far more sad and immature

Typical patronising, condescending & snivelling attitude from the Uber lefties.

What is immature is adults believing in socialism. Fair enough when you are a teenager and clueless but there is not excuse for a adult, unless you are a **** or a ****

So much for the tolerant left, as they say

What is it with the reactionary right wing weirdos who say all sorts of horrible **** on here then get offended when they get insulted back

trickle down (which is bollox imo anyway) is better than all wallowing together in a big pile of excrement.

Now you feeling like that is just a real bonus.

Brilliant stuff there. Why would anyone argue with that well thought out appraisal of the political climate ?

The Labour Party fantasy manifesto do not even worth consideration. And, I'd challenge their MPs for foregoing their annual remunerations and expenses for my vote if they are truly serious about managing the country and economy. I'm sorry, but even his former wife did not allow him to facilitate his political career at the expense of the education of one of their sons; rightly so too - the children are our future!

Has the manifesto been released?

not yet edy but that doesnt matter

Shouldn't it be released before people declare it a fantasy (or in case of the Tories even "cost" it)?

an intelligent, rational person such as yourself would do but this is betfair .... 

or maybe i should say that it is worrying that you are trying to shut down debate edy

if the torys still had Hammond as chancellor and still kept the purse strings tight,and labour had produced the current tory spending plans,torys,right wing media would still be running the same headlines just change the figure to a smaller amount, but they,d still be saying labour would be bankrupting the country but its ok for tory,s to spend it

Says the debate shutdowner in chief

The tories should simply have waited until labour announced their spending plans on the nhs etc  , and then added a few billion on top
If the leftists can play that game so can the tories , that’s clear now

Now let me tell you what should happen in a mature and rational manifesto and election
The parties should not be bragging about how much they are going to spend on the NHS
They should be setting out their plans on how to run the NHS and hopefully reduce costs in the NHS and everything else
This madness can’t really continue

Both parties spending plans have been rubbished by various financial instituitions. The public are quickly becoming aware that party manifestos aren't worth the paper they are written on.

I give very little credence to these expenditure soundbites. But, what scares me the most is the motley crew of The Labour Party will carry out theirs at the expense of the future generations. The country cannot afford these expenditure esp with Brexit looming.

I was talking to a Polish immigrant just the other day. I told him where I stood on Brexit, and he said I'd not blame you. He said Polish people are much better off with the money from The EU each year; free higher education for Polish students; an improved free health care system; etc.

The EU are good for Poland.

Whether the manifesto do not worth consideration or not is a mute point since it isn't out there yet...eh imposter123

Is this the 'future generations' that come out of education with 60k worth of debt..is that the generation you're worried about ?

The IMF: got it horribly wrong a decade ago after the crash but having finally eaten humble pie they have now come round to what Labour have been saying all along but don't let taht stop you posting sh!te imposter.

And another tale from imposter123's bottomless trough of 'man I met' anecdotes.

brexit is bad shocker

Btw, the irony of jucel and others saying how gullible (young) leftists are on a thread about fantasy figures from the tories being produced is some good stuff

I'm a little worried about 1%er.

Has he taken the news, that his thread is a shocker and that he's been used as a useful fool, badly ?

Britain as a nation is no longer capable of generating real wealth , we are going to have to spend a lot less
It’s as simple as that , no wild imaginings can alter these fundamental facts

Here it is , the truth , We are becoming poorer as a nation  , we don’t produce anything very much
That’s why we are becoming poorer
This will continue

In respect of our resources and the creative and industrial ability of Britain today the population of Britain is 50 millions. too high

We don’t produce the people ( young people ) anymore , we haven’t done for about 40 years
