    I need to get the wrinkles out of some shirts I think, or eat some liver, not sure which. You post just makes me feel like I need something a bit irony right now.

        He may set up a 'body' to investigate the 'impact' but that will be about it.
        He'll have to wait for the increase in tax revenues to start flooding in (which they probably won't) so at a guess I'd say tuition fees would likely be zero for new students starting in Autumn 2019 at best. Existing students probably would still have to pay (they'll cite "fairness" or something, when in reality they won't be able to afford it).
        They can't realistically put up all the taxes they have promised on day 1, they'll have to phase them in, so anyone who's expecting an instant socialist miracle is going to be desperately disappointed.
        He'll aim to have as much of his manifesto in place as possible by 2021, so he can go into the next election still blaming the Tories for the bits he couldn't achieve.
        All of this is fantasy, obviously, because there should be enough brain cells out there to ensure Corbyn gets nowhere number ten. Here's hoping...
        His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michae...our_leadership

              Foot was elected Labour leader on 10 November 1980, beating Denis Healey in the second round of the leadership election (the last leadership contest to involve only Labour MPs).

              Not the leader is determined by Tory voters who paid £3 to join the Labour party.

              Its democracy in action!

                    A bit like how May refused to go on then.

                      At least they've learned something from Theresa's disappearing act. Hopefully her front bench days are numbered.
