LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party said the opposition Labour Party would spend an extra 1.2 trillion pounds over the next five years if it wins power in an election on Dec. 12, British newspapers reported on Saturday.
However, Labour’s would-be finance minister, John McDonnell, dismissed the Conservative estimates as “ludicrous” and a “mish-mash of debunked estimates and bad maths”. McDonnell said in an interview for the Sunday’s Independent that the party’s manifesto would be “the most radical ever” and include a pilot for a universal basic income, and reiterated his desire to block expansion of London’s Heathrow airport.
McDonnell, 68, promised to borrow and spend even more - 400 billion pounds over 10 years. He said interest payments on government borrowing should not exceed 10% of tax revenues.
So? If it stimulates an explosion in confidence, spending and economic well-being (aka tax revenue!) then who cares!
sorenstudio While failing to put a price on their own? Worth reporting that Labour has not yet announced it's Manifesto but that seems to be a mere detail.
They're lying.
Apparently 🤷♂️ he hypnotized 17.4million people who then went on to vote leave so if that is even remotely true he will get a huge landslide in this general election. They only need 40% not the 52% too... going to be a slam dunk.
and that is a Conservative number!!!
Rubbish. If you believe this, you are far too gullible to call yourself a news source. VoteLabour2019
Please do be very careful about what you think you are seeing in your timelines people. BritishElections Ypu will ce conned by this off shoot of CambridgeAnalytica. There is no depth to which the right wing parties will not sink.

I wonder how much brexshit has cost the country, and we haven't even left yet. Don't trust these Tory liars
Instead of throwing out figures (which may or may not be proven) suggest you focus on what you are prepared to do if given a mandate. Try to make this election campaign less of a circus ( that goes for all parties and candidates),

Maybe they did that while pricing up the component parts of the NHS for their next meeting with US trade officials...
Conservatives are so in love with money and not willing to share it, even with the people who helped make the money (tax = giving back to those who helped make the money).
Is that supposed to scare people?
Must be true then...

They would, wouldn't they?
