That's a bum, can anyone cut and paste or something the manifesto that took me blood sweat and tears to do this morning please!!!???

I don't think Labour will win, and I fear for the country under the Tories, but whoever does win inherits a poisoned chalice. Brexit hasn't started to hit yet but when it does there is huge potential for another economic crash, considering the large amount of personal debt for instance. I wish I could feel more optimistic.

Don't give up yet, Lazigirl. Pound at a two week low today.
Who are Mayteam going to blame for that?

Yes, it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good.

This is an extremely interesting article, explaining a lot about Corbyn's thinking.

Thanks GG2 for posting Jeremy corbyn's speech. I'm away with no radio or tv news so I appreciate being to read what he said. I can't find anything to criticise, he spoke the truth and we need an honest, measured response to the problems we all face.

Jalima, we import most of the materials before we export the finished goods. How is that good for exports?

It's all looking very interesting at the moment isn't it Iam. Glad it was useful. I have written up various bits from the Manifesto on some of the threads too.
