    Brexit DOOM™: Labour would grab 20 per cent of assets from Britain's richest people

    "John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor,would grab 20 per cent of the assets of the richest 10 per cent of Britons if Labour got into power, it emerged today.

    In video footage uncovered by the Telegraph, Jeremy Corbyn’s closest ally claimed the move would "wipe out" the deficit and make "those who created the crisis pay for the crisis".

    Tory MPs said his comments revealed that senior Corbyn allies were plotting the most "radical Left-wing" government "ever experienced in the UK"."

      Best of luck with that
      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

            Wouldn't work as most assets are tied up in something whether that is a house or a business, would lead to a financial crisis. Unbelievable they're actually seriously thinking of it. If they do want a wealth tax it would have to be a fraction of a percent as it is in France.

              Not sure we need to be worried about it.

              In the rediculously unlikely event that a Corbyn/McDonnell government comes to power (TBH, even if May completely ****s up Brexit, I don't see Corbyn winning a General Election), if they are planning a grab on the top 10% (thus forcing most to sell their homes), then most (all?) MPs would be caught anyway and I don't see those particular Turkeys voting for christmas.

                No it's not. This is the blue sky think tank that thinks everyone is a socialist at heart. They'll do anything for the working class except mix with them.

                  I think I have spotted the flaw in his plan.
