JEREMY CORBYN served up Labour’s manifesto on November 21st with a dollop of populism. Billionaires were bashed. Journalists were booed . The party’s leader took aim at a rich, powerful elite who do not want “real change”. “Why would they?” asked Mr Corbyn at the launch in Birmingham. “The system is working just fine for them. It’s rigged in their favour.”
Its manifesto mixes the party’s greatest hits with some new tunes. The government would spend £75bn on building 100,000 council homes per year, paid for from a £150bn “transformation fund”, a pot of money for capital spending on public services. Rent increases would be capped at inflation. The most eye-catching proposal, a plan to nationalise BT’s broadband operations and then offer the service free of charge, was announced the previous week.
‘ I work hard for what I have. I pay my way every step of the way. My neighbour doesn’t work. Corbyn thinks we are both socially equal. Fck off ! How is that fair ?!?!

Labour is losing the battle for GrimsbyIf the Conservatives can take this Brexit-voting Labour stronghold, a realignment of British politics is under way Who knew that Grimsby was worth fighting for?🤔 Labour don’t give a toss about Grimsby. Now Ramallah, that’s a different matter altogether. The Grimsby fishing fleet was destroyed by EU membership and a thriving place was economically impoverished. Labour want the U.K. to stay in the EU and care more about the right of an EU student to work as a waiter in Islington than a family to earn a living in Grimsby.
