Has the Labour maifesto leak done Corbyn a favour?

These policies are really good. Who would have thought that a boring bloke with a beard would have ideas on how to make things better for the British people.

Don't read this btw. Just listen to Thereasa May saying 'strong and stable' at choreographed events. 😜

@RodneyTrotter: Remember also that this is a long time ago. Efficiency improves with technology, like the public systems abroad.

@Burnley123: Yes, fair points. (Cheaper, presumably, because state-subsidised.) My only point is that rail services in England now are better (and much more used) than they werebefore privatisation.

@MartinII: On the narrow point you may be correct. I'm sure British Rail had problems but that was long time ago. Even 50% of Tory voters want rail re-nationalised because they are sick of being ripped off.

@Burnley123: He does actually use the words strong and stable in Mein Kampf. May = Hitler.

Americanmeg ok you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that right but if you consider the leader of the labour party a clown then I assume by your user name you are from the united states then what is your take on your commandeering chief in clown scale

@smiler2012: She lives in England. Read her profile.

burnley123 I have always been a labour voter and always will I cannot say I have seen these policies but you know that the tory tabloids will scrutinise these and distort them

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@smiler2012: They absolutely will, as was ever this. That we can't control so we need to get the message out by other means.

I linked an article with the policies above, if you want to read. If you people share it on FB, then I will be even happier. :-)

No such thing as a leak, they deliberately release the information to get a reaction from the public

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@nedkelly: Its possible I guess but that would assume that the Labour leadership are media savvy. They are not and most of the media hate them. If they even tried that they would be grassed up.

Its the Labour right wanting to undermine things. They have been leaking for the last two years. It could have backfired this time though.

After the fox hunting nonsense, I give up. She is clueless.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@TwistedFate: She is clueless. The media have presented the image of this super competent politicians but she is really not very good. In this campaign the Tories seem to be hiding her.

No, people are too blind I think. Too many old people that have warped opinions of him.

thatscottishguy · 26-30, M

Was laughing watching ITV earlier. Reporter gleefully informing us how this would help the Tories and that Labour have brought the "chaos" of today upon themselves.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@thatscottishguy: More to the point is that the Labour Right (most probably Ian McNicol or Tom Watson) leaked it to give that impression. Leaks against Corbyn have happened for the last two years in order to make the Labour leadership appear weak and incompetent. Unfortunately it has had some effect.

However, this time it might have backed fired because it has generated extra publicity for Labour policies.
