"In the letter to which David Blanchflower, a former member of the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee is a signatory, the economists write: “The accusation is widely made that Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters have moved to the extreme left on economic policy. But this is not supported by the candidate’s statements or policies. His opposition to austerity is actually mainstream economics, even backed by the conservative IMF. He aims to boost growth and prosperity.”

The tories and red tories better dig up some more dirt since their nonsense regarding his economic policies has now been totally discredited.
 


A pensioner wearing hush puppies, a tweed jacket and a sporting a beard :lol:

He's got absolutely no chance of getting elected PM, regardless of his policies. Labour should look elsewhere.
 
IIRC, the economists who signed that letter were generally university profs and lecturers.

Good right-wing economists go to work in the city and retire very rich, good left-wing economists go to work in universities and tend not to retire rich.

Same was said about Thatcher - nutcase, divisive, and a WOMAN for gawdsakes . .

Amazing how many people suddenly claim to be able to see into the future, like the prophets of old.
 
From corbyn :

“Let’s also make it absolutely clear to any speculators in the City looking to make a fast buck at the taxpayers’ expense that if any of these assets are sold by Osborne under their value, a future Corbyn-led Labour government will reserve the right to bring them back into public ownership with either no compensation or with any undervaluation deducted from any compensation for renationalisation.”

Speculators in the city. Most pension pots will own these shares.

You'd better pray to god that he doesn't get elected then. If he does get elected then either god was on his side or you were just talking to yourself.

Reads to me as if he's talking about future sell offs.
