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!!!???

GracesGranMK2 Mon 22-May-17 17:11:12

Perhaps the costing will be published tomorrow
gringringrin whitewave.

Where did I say I'd read the Tory party costings?
It was very obvious you hadn't Ana. It's so annoying when these things called facts get in the way isn't it.

So virtually all Labour's policies are to be funded by the 5% tax and reverse in corporation tax.
No Ana.

"Tories wobble" grin oh no strong and stable strong and stable strong and stable strong and stable

I nearly went off message then.

durhamjen Mon 22-May-17 16:59:09

No, Ana. They have said they don't need to do costings before the election. We can just trust them!
They do not need to do any until the Autumn election, they say.

This morning's front page in the i.
Tories stand firm after care wobble.
No change to unpopular policies for elderly after weekend polls show Labour closing gap.

I wonder what tomorrow's front page will say?

Ana Mon 22-May-17 16:42:12

I already told you there are no Tory costings yet whitewave - they won't be pubished until nearer to the election.

Get back to your brexit book!

angelab Mon 22-May-17 16:36:21

Don't understand, Annie...?

Anniebach Mon 22-May-17 16:30:59

Fancy voting for a man who is walking in the footsteps of the Donald

whitewave Mon 22-May-17 16:26:50

Perhaps the costing will be published tomorrow

whitewave Mon 22-May-17 16:26:21

Nope no costing from Maybot.

We don't even know any real detail relating to the latest u- turn. Fancy voting and hoping for the best!!

Anniebach Mon 22-May-17 16:14:02

Yes I know Angelab , leopards do not change their spots though

whitewave Mon 22-May-17 16:13:39

But annie will tell you angel that it was trots, militants and the like that voted for him. All other sensible right if centre members voted for someone else. Shame they don't outnumber the trots. What is this country coming to.

angelab Mon 22-May-17 16:09:40

annie JC was democratically elected twice!!

Anniebach Mon 22-May-17 16:02:29

Sorry, I cannot speak for the Tory party Angelab not a mrmber, I can say as a Labour Party member what we have now is a Labour Party being taken over by militants,trots and communists which is a Corbyn party

Ana Mon 22-May-17 16:01:04

Well you won't find them as they've not been pubished yet...hmm

whitewave Mon 22-May-17 15:45:46

So the entire manifesto has been costed at 48bn

This is outlined in detail

How this will be paid for is also outlined in detail.

I could put it on here but as it is easy to find it isn't necessary.

Now I'm going to look for the Conservative costs and how they intend to raise it. I'll let you know where to find it as soon as I am able.

rosesarered Mon 22-May-17 15:34:35

Sigh!

angelab Mon 22-May-17 15:20:54

Oh annie, there's no such thing as "a good Corbyn party member", you're getting mixed up with "a good May party member"

Anniebach Mon 22-May-17 15:19:09

How many houses are to built in the first year ?

Anniebach Mon 22-May-17 15:18:20

And as someone who doesn't miss Corbyn even blowing his nose I thought you would listened to him this morning, being a good Corbyn party member Jen

Ana Mon 22-May-17 15:17:18

So virtually all Labour's policies are to be funded by the 5% tax and reverse in corporation tax. Where on earth did they find this hugely otimistic 'independent body'?

Ana Mon 22-May-17 15:14:17

Where did I say I'd read the Tory party costings? confused

GracesGranMK2 Mon 22-May-17 15:14:12

Well there you go Ana! If you actually work it out, and understand ALL declared monies in (not just one source of income) and all monies out, it's just amazing what you can do.

As opposed to asking the British Electorate just to like you and therefore sign a blank check.

durhamjen Mon 22-May-17 15:07:37

By the way, that's from the Labour Party website. I thought you would realise, being a good Labour Party member.

durhamjen Mon 22-May-17 15:06:33

Read the second paragraph as well, Annie. It's explained in the first and second paragraphs.

durhamjen Mon 22-May-17 15:04:34

Read it more closely, Ana. There's a bit more than the tax rate for the top 5% of earners. It says the reverses in corporation tax, too. Did you miss that?

You haven't read the Tory ones, because they haven't done any costings, but Labour have.
