    Andrew Neil Interview

    Worth a watch on BBC iplayer

    Jeremy Corbyn confirmed that Labour would borrow to fund its £58bn scheme to compensate millions of women who lost out on state pensions.

    "We would borrow or get from Govt reserves"
    AN - But there isn't £60bn in the reserves
    "Oh yes - we would borrow"
    AN - But its not in your spending pledges
    "Yes but its morally right"

    "For nationalisation we wouldnt borrow - we would issue billions of pounds of govt bonds"

    that is just a small snapshot. painful watch. fair play to Andrew Neil.

    Rather than tulipting bricks I would suggest that Boris is pissing himself laughing!

      Someone asked the same question to Boris - and he responded pretty honestly saying we would love to but cannot afford it.

        it was a painful watch

        but in truth there's so many more topics and questions that should be asked of him, which he'll be equally squirmy over

          He also admitted that Pensioners with small private pensions and total income of just £14,000 will see income tax rise from from £14 to £400 under Labour. Its not just those over £80k.

                Car crash, Labour's only hope now is if Boris drops his pants, tulips on his hand and throws it at Andrew Neil.

                    At least the money is going into the pockets of people who deserve it the most. Unlike the Tories who are interested in making millionaires into multi millionaires and multi millionaires into billionaires. The rest of the population can go feck themselves. It seems if you are a big donor of Tory party you will do well when they get into power. It's the biggest cash grab in history but the only thing the general population is worried about is a poor pensioner getting what they are entitled to.
                    Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !
