tbh I'm tired of the "where will the money come from" for these types of projects. Every pound spent on high quality free at point of use preschool pays back £2.10 in increased tax take from those children over the space of 40 years and saves £10.80 in reduced benefits use, criminality, or negative health outcomes, it pays for itself multiple times over. And that's excluding that all the teachers you hire will be spending money in local economies. Just issue bonds or print money or borrow on the sovereign debt market, you'll get your money back and more. It's like investing in the NHS, it's a no brainer. The idea that you need to raise a tax today or Brexit bonuses to pay for it is nonsense.

They seem unshakeably convinced that this sort of crap is effective campaign strategy, but I get the impression it's actively counter-productive. It just makes people think they're juvenile twats.

This manifesto launch is great. 😁

edit: I kinda wish we'd gotten this Corbyn at the debate

quote:

Whether it is the trillions of litres of water lost through leakages, barriers to renewable energy connecting to the grid or the billions of pounds of bill-payers’ money being siphoned off in dividends to wealthy shareholders, Tory privatisation of our utilities has been a disaster for both our planet and our wallets. We will put people and planet before profit by bringing our energy and water systems into democratic public ownership. In public hands, energy and water will be treated as rights rather than commodities, with any surplus reinvested or used to reduce bills.

quote:

Uphold basic rights to education, health and clean water by establishing a new Unit for Public Services within DfID, which will include increasing direct budgetary support to governments so they can build sustainable services for their citizens.

A New Internationalism posted:

Establish a judge-led inquiry into our country’s alleged complicity in rendition and torture, and the operation of secret courts.
Issue a formal apology for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, and hold a public review into Britain’s role in the Amritsar massacre.
Allow the people of the Chagos Islands and their descendants the right to return to the lands from which they should never have been removed.
Uphold the human rights of the people of West Papua and recognise the rights of the people of Western Sahara.
Immediately suspend the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia for use in Yemen and to Israel for arms used in violation of the human rights of Palestinian civilians, and conduct a root-and-branch reform of our arms exports regime so ministers can never again turn a blind eye to British-made weapons being used to target innocent civilians.
Reform the international rules-based order to secure justice and accountability for breaches of human rights and international law, such as the bombing of hospitals in Syria, the illegal blockade of the Gaza Strip, the use of rape as a weapon of war against the Rohingya community in Myanmar and the indiscriminate bombardment of civilians in Yemen.

quote:

We will act immediately to end the hereditary principle in the House of Lords, and work to abolish the House of Lords in favour of Labour’s preferred option of an elected Senate of the Nations and Regions, but we also believe that the people must be central to historic political changes.

Migration posted:

We will end indefinite detention, review the alternatives to the inhumane conditions of detention centres, and close Yarl’s Wood and Brook House, from which immediate savings would contribute towards a fund of £20 million to support the survivors of modern slavery, people trafficking and domestic violence. We will ensure justice for migrant domestic workers and restore the overseas domestic workers’ visa.

If we remain in the EU, freedom of movement would continue. If we leave, it will be subject to negotiations, but we recognise the social and economic benefits that free movement has brought both in terms of EU citizens here and UK citizens abroad – and we will seek to protect those rights.

In accordance with our values and domestic laws, we will uphold the right to a family life for British, EU and non-EU residents alike. We will end the deportation of family members of people entitled to be here and end the minimum income requirements which separate families.

I met Prince Andrew once. In 20 seconds which didn't involve much more than a handshake and "what do you do then?" he managed to give the impression of being an absolutely unspeakable twat. He radiates whatever the antithesis of charisma is like a forcefield.
