Jeremy Corbyn is the Prime Minister !

That seems quite honest and up-front.

Hmmmmmm........well its the first I have heard about a possible 60% tax rate.

The guy who came up with the manifesto hasn't got a lot of faith in it either:-

John McDonnell, the new shadow Chancellor, is under pressure to clarify Labour’s tax policies, with even the man credited with inventing “Corbynomics” describing the party’s tax plans as “weak”.

So, I would say they haven't been upfront, as the maths don't add up, unless they go further than their current manifesto.

JC has consistently and unashamedly spoken about raising taxes, surely? I mean it can hardly come as a surprise to anyone.

Yes, to a 50% rate, in the past....

But, as per the article 50% won't be enough.
The maths don't add up

He will just raise NI - after all that's not a tax it's "insurance".

I also expect him to steal Lib Dem tax raising ideas such as council tax changed to a land value tax after all it's "only fair" and invent a social care insurance - which is not tax it's "insurance".

He will be investing in manufacturing. I am looking forward to getting one of these

Why do people like to micro analyse someone like Corbyn (remember, he's totally unelectable) and ridicule everything he says then vote Tory in the belief that they will do something other than absolutely **** everyone up to serve their mates ??

It's a case of voting for what you know.

Both parties help their mates but with Labour you don't know whether these mates are their male union comrades or foreign billionaires.

So foreign billionaires are ok as long as they're friends of the tories
