How to speak like a Corbynite: a helpful guide

[Blackleaf]

As socialist and bearded lefty Jeremy Corbyn - who, like many on the British left, never wears a tie and generally looks scruffy - looks set to become the new leader of the Labour Party, and therefore to have a crack at trying to be Prime Minister in 2020, the Telegraph has issued a helpful guide to teach you how to speak like a Corbynite.

Eager to join the debate about Jeremy Corbyn, the Left-wing Labour leadership favourite? Help is at hand, with our essential glossary of Corbynite words and phrases.

Blair, Tony. Genocidal Right-wing dictator who led Labour to three disastrous election victories.

Compassion. What Corbynites’ political views are inspired by, along with empathy, kindness, decency and fellow feeling. That and Aneurin Bevan’s dictum that all Tories are “lower than vermin”.

Foot, Michael. Visionary thinker who led Labour to triumphant defeat.

Hatred. What Tory scum are full of.

Ideological. Adjective describing the political motives of Corbynites’ opponents. “The Tories’ cuts to public services are merely ideological.” Compare: Principled.

Labour party membership. Body of people that is precisely representative of the electorate at large, proving that if Jeremy Corbyn wins the party leadership he can win a general election.

Media. Network of corrupt Establishment puppeteers who dictate the result of every general election through their brainwashing of the proletariat. There is no other explanation for the working class’s rejection of socialism, because the proles are incapable of forming their own opinions.

Neoliberal. Useful catch-all epithet for any policy, idea, opinion or action not endorsed by Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters. “You pour the milk in first, rather than the hot water? That’s so neoliberal.”

Non-voters. Vast army of hitherto disillusioned socialists who will sweep Jeremy Corbyn to Downing Street in 2020. Please ignore polling by the Trades Union Congress that shows the top three reasons non-voters gave for not voting Labour in May, namely: “They would spend too much”, “They would make it too easy for people to live on benefits” and “They would raise taxes”.

Opposition. Pinnacle of political power.

Personal abuse. Something Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters will never stoop to. Unlike those evil selfish Tories, and that murdering war criminal Blair, and that Thatcherite cow Liz Kendall, and those washed-up irrelevances the Lib Dems, and those racist thugs Ukip.

Principled. Adjective describing the political motives of Corbynites. “My support for reopening the coal mines is principled.” Compare: Ideological.

Protest. Attractive new name for the revitalised Labour party under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership.

Smear. Unhelpful fact.

Tory. Any human being who opposes, or has yet to declare public support for, Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership campaign. Examples of Tories include Harriet Harman, Ed Miliband, Gordon Brown, the Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee, and Stalin.

I was listening to Michael Coren on Thursday and he had a commentator from Britain discussing Corbyn. I got the impression Coren likes what he hears about Corbyn and he his effort to have the Corporates stop squishing the little people with all of their austerity crap ....






The British version of Bernie Sanders is having his moment






He promises socialist reforms vowing to take his party’s leadership further to the left than it’s been in decades. Huge crowds are turning out to hear his message. We’re not talking about Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders — this is Jeremy Corbyn, the man in line to become the next leader of Britain’s Labour Party.


The meetings that he’s more used to are things like church halls or community centers with 30, 40, or 50 people turning out. I went to one of his rallies last week, 1,500 peopled turned up,” says the BBC’s Mobeen Azhar, who has been tracking the Corbyn phenomenon. “It had the atmosphere of a concert or an album launch, more than a political rally. He really is a rock star at the moment.”


Corbyn has been advocating a shift away from austerity measures in Britain, away from the current focus on reducing the deficit and public spending. Corbyn proposes policies like quantitative easing, printing more money that can be pumped into the welfare state.




Corbyn has also advocated for public ownership of large infrastructure such as Britain’s rail service.


“What he’s known for is being rebellious,” says Azhar. “He has voted and ignored the party whip over 500 times. He’s also known for doing things like speaking out against the war on terror.”


He also doesn’t own a car and holds the record for the lowest expense claimed in Parliament.


Former prime minister and head of the Labour Party, Tony Blair, is less-than-thrilled with Corbyn’s remarkable and unexpected ascent and his attempt to shift the party back to its socialist roots. Blair, who steered the party more toward the center, said the threat from Corbyn would make the party unelectable. He said that if people believe they’re voting with their heart, “get a transplant.”
Other Labour leaders have told their supporters to back anybody other than Corbyn.


They don’t seem to be listening. Recent polls suggest that if a vote were held today, Corbyn would become Labour’s new leader. The result of the contest will be announced on September 12th.




But could a victory carry him to the top spot in Britain, the prime minister’s residence at 10 Downing Street in London?


“That’s another question. It seems unlikely. But what you’ve got to remember is that even a few weeks ago, it seemed very unlikely that we would be talking about Jeremy Corbyn as the next Labour leader,” says Azhar. “Things are changing and they’re changing very fast.”

I doubt he'll become PM though. What the British people - especially the English - don't like is being dictated to by a left-wing socialists.

In the last forty years Labour has had three left-wing, socialist leaders: Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock and Ed Miliband. Foot is remembered today for disrespectfully wearing a donkey jacket at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday in 1981 and for being trounced by Thatcher in the 1983 General Election; Kinnock was beaten by Thatcher in the 1987 General Election and by Major in the 1992 General Election; and, of course, Miliband was beaten by Cameron in the 2015 General Election.

These three men were all punished by the electorate for their socialist policies which, if they managed to enact them, would have taken Britain back to the dark days of the 1970s which Thatcher managed to drag the country out of. And the fact that the Labour Party now seems about to elect Corbyn as their new leader shows they have not learned from the Foot, Kinnock and Miliband eras.

Corbyn is a man who wants to kick the royals out of Buckingham Palace; increase the top rate of tax to 75% (like Hollande has done in France, which has done nothing except made France's best and brightest leave and go to Britain); and get rid of Britain's nuclear weapons (in what are very dangerous times). He's also an anti-Semite and has been known to cosy up to the likes of Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness. In fact, this guy is so left-wing that even the GUARDIAN doesn't support, having just come out and declared its support for Yvette Cooper in the Labour leadership race. So, if he does become the new Labour Party leader on 12th September them I'm fairly sure he won't become PM in 2020. The British electorate - the most sophisticated and most rational electorate in the world - won't be daft enough to vote for him.

If the Labour Party want to get back into power in 2020 they'd elect Andy Burnham as their new leader. He may well become PM if he becomes Labour leader, but Corbyb won't.

Notorious conspiracy theorist who believes the 'world is controlled by Jewish elders' spoke at Westminster event hosted by Jeremy Corbyn

Labour leadership favourite hosted event with anti-Israel speaker
James Thring, a notorious 9/11 conspiracy theorist, seized the stage
Thring said that weapons should be provided to a Palestinian militia
The campaigner scheduled to speak compared Israel to Nazi Germany

Labour leadership candidate Jeremy Corbyn hosted an event at Parliament at which a 9/11 conspiracy theorist gave a speech.

The hard-left favourite to become the party's leader unwittingly gave a platform to James Thring, who has previously made bizarre claims that 'Jewish elders' control financial markets.

Heavily-bearded Thring gave vent to his views at the event organised by a pro-Palestinian pressure group and hosted by Corbyn. Another controversial campaigner also spoke at the meeting and compared Israel to Nazi Germany.

The revelation is the latest to hit leadership hopeful Corbyn, whose unexpected success threatens to split the Labour party.

While Thring was not scheduled to speak, the actual booked speaker was also a controversial figure anti-Israel figure, Max Blumenthal.

Blumenthal gained notoriety by inventing the hashtag #JSIL, implying that Jewish people are as bad as ISIS.

In his unscheduled five-minute address, Thring stated that a Palestinian militia should be armed and equipped.

He also boasted of having close connections to the Chinese authorities, whom he said he was lobbying to provide weapons to the Palestinians.

In Blumenthal's address, which took place later that evening, he called Israel 'a racist society' in which non-Jewish Africans were 'attacked by right-wing mobs in scenes reminiscent of Kristallnacht'.

Jeremy Corbyn said that he had no prior knowledge that Thring was going to speak.

'James Thring was, hitherto, unknown to me,' he said. 'From what I’ve recently discovered, he is not someone I would choose to have on a platform. Indeed, he was not selected to be on this particular platform either.

'The course of events were that the invited speaker was very late (45-60 mins). Whilst we were busy looking for him in the parliamentary estate, thinking perhaps he’d come in a different entrance and needed to be escorted to the appropriate room, an uninvited number of people chose to speak to those assembled there. Unfortunately one of those seems to have been James Thring.'

As well as being a 9/11 conspiracy theorist, James Thring has associations with former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke and has campaigned for the release of Holocaust denier David Irving.

Thring regularly appears as a 'special guest' on Duke's radio programme and once used the show to make a speech about the so-called 'strategies' of 'Jewish elders'.

In a separate interview with Iranian television, Thring said: 'The Israeli lobby… [has] a pretty good grip in nearly all Western countries. They can whisper in the ear of the governing party.

He added: 'The Israeli lobby... has managed to dominate either by fear or finance most of the television stations around the world.'

Thring campaigned for the release of David Irving when he was arrested in Austria for denying the Holocaust in 2005.

The emergence of Thring's speech at the Parliamentary meeting comes after it reports that Corbyn wrote a letter of support for a vicar who was banned from social media for suggesting Israel was responsible for the 9/11 attack on the twin towers.

The Reverend Stephen Sizer used his internet accounts to spread ideas which were ‘clearly anti-Semitic’, the Church of England said. He was banned by Church authorities for six months in February.

Jeremy Corbyn caught on video calling Muslim hate preacher 'honoured citizen' and inviting him to 'tea on the terrace' at the House of Commons

Labour leadership favourite Jeremy Corbyn has been caught on video praising a hate preacher and inviting him to 'tea on the terrace' at Parliament.

In the latest of a string of revelations about his connections to alleged extremists, Corbyn can be seen referring to Sheikh Raed Salah as an 'honoured citizen' and even inviting him to tea in the House of Commons.

Salah, a prominent member of the Islamic Movement in Israel, was excluded from the UK because of concerns over his ‘virulent anti-semitism’.

In 2011, he was able to slip through border control at Heathrow and give a number of speeches before he was arrested on the orders of the Home Secretary.

It shows Corbyn saying: '[Salah] is a very honoured citizen. He represents his people extremely well and his is a voice that must be heard... I hereby renew my invitation to Sheikh Salah to come to Parliament, meet with me, meet with my colleagues.

'He will be assured of a very warm welcome. I look forward to giving you tea on the terrace because you deserve it.

Salah, who served two years in prison for raising millions of pounds for the Palestinian terror group Hamas and for having contact with an Iranian intelligence agent, has made a number of incendiary and extremist remarks on camera.

Why Corbyn's a tragedy for Left and Right

16 August 2015
Daily Mail

Left-wing politics have always been a tragi-comedy. First, verbose and hairy thinkers dwell amid dirty plates of cold unappetising food and mounds of slithering paper, plotting Utopia.

Then, unexpected world events lift them into power – to everyone’s surprise, including their own. And the planned paradise turns out to be a perpetual disaster: economic chaos at best, miserable police state at worst.

So far, Jeremy Corbyn has lived nearer the comic end of this spectrum than the tragic one. With his cat called Harold Wilson, his cold baked beans scooped straight from the tin and his comfortless holidays on an Iron Curtain motorbike, he is almost – but not quite – endearing.

Corbyn, the 66-year-old MP for Islington North, is the shock favourite to become the next Labour leader

The perpetual gap between misplaced idealistic hope and glum reality is revealed rather sharply in his wife’s idealistic coffee business.

The Mail on Sunday has investigated its claims of fair wages and good conditions for poor Mexican farmers, and found them to be absurdly optimistic.

After the recent scandal of the ‘This Is What A Feminist Looks Like’ T-shirts, manufactured in far from feminist conditions, you might think the Left would learn to check its facts. It does not do so precisely because it is wedded to self-delusion.

It still believes that two and two can somehow be forced to make five (especially in the Treasury) that terrorists really are freedom fighters, and that Labour loses elections because it is not Left-wing enough. Having failed to learn from the Ed Miliband disaster, it now seems set on proving itself wrong even more emphatically.

It would be easy to laugh. But the British constitution needs a serious Opposition party. No good purpose is served by Labour turning peevishly away from real politics, and self-indulgently picking a leader who will guide them even further away from any chance of power.

Tom Watson has been elected deputy leader of the Labour Party following a three-month campaign.

He beat four other contenders for the job - Ben Bradshaw, Stella Creasey, Angela Eagle and Caroline Flint.

The West Bromwich East MP is a former junior minister and ally of Gordon Brown, who is known for campaigning against Rupert Murdoch's media empire.

A new Survation poll has shown that Britons believe Labour will not win the next TWO elections. 39% believe Labour will lose the next two elections as opposed to 22% who don't believe that. 44% believe Cameron would make the best Prime Minister as opposed to 27% who believe Corbyn would. A quarter of people say they are now LESS likely to vote for Labour.

Jeremy Corbyn unveils 'unifying' shadow cabinet team: Jeremy Corbyn has unveiled what he called a "unifying" new shadow cabinet, naming his left-wing ally John McDonnell as shadow chancellor.

John McDonnell's appointment as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer proved most controversial

Defeated leadership rival Andy Burnham is shadow home secretary, while Hilary Benn remains shadow foreign secretary.

The appointment of Mr McDonnell, a close friend of Mr Corbyn who managed his campaign, is proving controversial among some Labour MPs.

The Hayes and Harlington MP has previously faced criticism for telling a union event that he would "like to go back to the 1980s and assassinate Thatcher" and in 2003 said IRA terrorists should be "honoured" for taking part in their "armed struggle", while attending a gathering to commemorate the IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands.

So, on just his first full day into his job, Corbyn is already showing his true, left-wing, anti-British colours.

Where would we have been without the Few, Jeremy? Pacifist Corbyn joins service to honour Battle of Britain heroes - but REFUSES to sing the National Anthem

Republican Jeremy Corbyn stood silent on his first major official engagement as Labour leader as the congregation at St Paul's Cathedral sang God Save the Queen to remember those who died on the aerial conflict's 75th anniversary. Mr Corbyn, who was dressed in non-matching jacket and trousers and had failed to properly button his shirt, was branded a 'disgrace' by critics. During the summer and autumn of 1940, 544 personnel from Fighter Command died as the RAF fought Hitler's Luftwaffe and helped stop an invasion. Ahead of the memorial service, attended by survivors including RAF pilot Will Clark, 95, pictured, Mr Corbyn also met David Cameron for the first time since his victory. Hours earlier he became embroiled in a major row with his own MPs after refusing to say if he will wear a red poppy on Remembrance Sunday because he is a pacifist.

Whomever selected that heading is an idiot of uncommon dullardhood. Labour is the backbone of every nation and every task. Some pretender omitted the word -party- and now every person man woman or child who labours for thier dayly bread is insulted nay branded with ignominay and marked as subversive.

It's time for another English revolution, I hope it will be lead by Englishmen, but that seems to much to expect from an occupied and weakened people.

I hope there IS a revolution in Britain, but it should be coloured purple, not red.

Labour have for a long time been a dangerous, left-wing, anti-British (especially anti-English) party, which scorns British history, British values, British traditions, the British monarchy and the British military - all the things which make Britain great. All this is even more true now that Corbyn is their leader. This scruffy IRA and Hamas-loving individual, who called Bin Laden's killing a "tragedy" - proof that, in the unlikely event of him becoming PM in 2020, he'll be no friend to the USA - is a disgrace and his dangerous, left-wing policies - the scrapping of the monarchy, the scrapping of nukes and the scrapping of any semblance of a proper armed forces - will drive more people away from the red of Labour and into the purple of Ukip.

To put it simply, Corbyn's election as the Leader of Her Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition is a big boost for Mr Farage's purple army. The coming revolution will be purple, not red, in colour.

Jeremy Corbyn's victory a 'huge boost' for Ukip, claims Nigel Farage

NIGEL FARAGE has hailed the election of new Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as a “huge boost” for Ukip.

He accused the left-winger of being out-of-step with the British public and said his relaxed attitude to immigration would lead to a rapid influx of refugees.

Speaking at motoring show Goodwood Revival, Mr Farage said: "The Labour party has just elected a leader who believes we are all part of one world.

"Mr Corbyn wants to let everyone in, so we can look forward to that.

"That might go down well in the north Islington dinner party set but I don't think it's what ordinary people think.

"As far as UKIP's concerned it's a huge boost."

Argentina claims Jeremy Corbyn victory allow them to take back the Falkland Islands

ARGENTINA has expressed its delight at the victory of left-winger Jeremy Corbyn in the Labour leadership contest, claiming it will help pave the way for fresh talks over British claims to the Falkland Islands.

By Tom Batchelor
Mon, Sep 14, 2015
The Express

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner said Jeremy Corbyn was a 'great friend'

President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner described the rank outsider’s stunning election success today as a “triumph of hope”, adding that he was a “great friend” to the South American country.

The outspoken Argentine has repeatedly clashed with the British Government in recent years over the fate of the Falkland Islands – known as the Malvinas in Argentina.

But she risked a fresh diplomatic spat this evening by suggesting fresh talks over sovereignty claims could be prompted by a change in Labour leader.

Mrs Fernandez de Kirchner said the Islington North MP “actively supports the call of the international community for dialogue between the United Kingdom and Argentina in the Malvinas question”.

In a statement, she added: "This is a triumph for those of us who represent the will to put politics at the service of the people, and the economy at the service of the welfare of all citizens.

"It is also a triumph for those who advocate for peace and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.

"Jeremy Corbyn is a great friend of Latin America and shares, in solidarity, our demands for equality and political sovereignty.

"He has clearly spoken in favour of Argentina in the British Parliament regarding our struggle for human rights against the usurious interests of vulture funds.”

Mr Corbyn opposed the 1982 Falkland’s War and has called for a 'joint administration' to resolve the dispute between Britain and Argentina.

In 2013, the veteran left-winger appeared to question the validity of a referendum that found an overwhelming majority of islanders wished to remain a British territory.

In an interview with the BBC, he said: "There is a way forward other than spending a very large amount of money and the potential of another catastrophic conflict.”

Scrapping the monarchy will win votes, as will banning nukes.

 

[Blackleaf]

I never wear a tie myself. It is a mark of servitude, no free man would wear a rope arround his neck and smile about it. I suppose an iron band arround the neck will become fashionable in Britian.

The man who wants to become Britain's next Prime Minister should NOT be going around wearing no tie and with the top of his shirt unbuttoned. As the Leader of Her Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition he should be looking smart and statesmanlike and should not be looking like some mad scruffy uncle.

Scrapping the monarchy will win votes, as will banning nukes.

Can you show me that? Because I believe the opposite will happen - especially in light of the new poll which shows 70% of Britons wanting Britain to remain a monarchy forever. I'll have to remind you that the monarchy is increasingly popular in Britain and any party - especially a Far-left one - which attempts to get rid of it will be destroyed in the next subsequent election.

70% of Britons want Britain to remain a monarchy forever.

However, Prince William, not the Queen, is the most popular monarch, with Her Majesty second.

Six in ten Brits think the monarchy plays an important role in the functioning of the state and 73% think it is an integral part of British culture.

58% trust the Queen more than they trust any politician.

http://news.sky.com/...retain-monarchy

Also, the loony policy of scrapping nuclear weapons in these dangerous times will also not go down well with the British voter - the most sophisticated and rational voter in the world - and this will be shown when the people's representatives in parliament will almost certainly vote to replace Trident with a more up-to-date nuclear weapons system.

The tie is an antiquated remnant of a bygone era similar to the monarchy and just as useless. Both cut off circulation to the brain and restrict clear thinking. You will agree that thinking has also become a relic of the past in Briton. According to you the election of this man would support that contention.

Mr Corbyn does NOT appeal to the average Briton. Not if this new YouGov poll is anything to go by:

Do you have faith in Corbyn?

From what you have seen or heard about Jeremy Corbyn, do you think he will do well or badly as leader of the Labour Party?

Well: 30%
Badly: 50%
Don't know: 20%

If Corbyn remains leader of the Labour Party, how likely or unlikely do you think it is that they will win the next general election?

Likely: 17%
Unlikely: 61%
Don't know: 22%

Do you trust Corbyn to manage the economy?

Yes: 23%
No: 50%
Don't know: 27%

These aren't the first polls which show how unpopular Corbyn and his left-wing policies are with the British public. If he's to have any chance of becoming PM in 2020 he has to have a massive shift to the Right. The British don't like having Left-wing governments.

That percentage agrees with my own figures.Welcome the the fifteenth century, enjoy the view.

Britain is a forward-looking 21st century country which will soon be out of the EUSSR and will prosper as a result, whilst it will also be governed by a constitutional monarchy, the best form of governance in the modern world, and be ruled by the form of government that most Britons want, not the form of government that you and the other swivel-eyed republican loons want us to be ruled by.

Yes of course becoming a bigger threat to the free world will afford you more secure position on the road to total destruction.
It is obvious that Briton needs an infusion of new blood. Have fun with the monied Syrians about to displace the natives. Most of them will be equiped with buttoned up shirts and ties and they'll blend right in with the respectable and you won't notice them a bit.

How many Syrians is compassionate Canada taking in? It's time you pulled your weight. Britain has done more than enough, what with spending almost as much money as the rest of the EUSSR put together on aid to the Syrians. It's time canada chipped in a little bit more, with more cash and more asylum granted to these people.

Jeremy Corbyn calls for new economics to tackle 'grotesque inequality'

Opposition leader says growth demands major change in way economy is run, as shadow chancellor vows to rewrite rules

“Wealth creation is a good thing: we all want greater prosperity. But let us have a serious debate about how wealth is created, and how that wealth should be shared.”

Corbyn also said a Labour government would “chase down the tax avoiders and the tax evaders” and ensure HMRC had the resources it needed to do so.

Labour needed to be ambitious and bold to win the next election, he said. In the meantime, he insisted that the party could make a difference despite the frustrations of being in opposition: “We must continue to stand up against the Conservative six-year record of mismanagement of the economy – and stand up for the vital services on which we all depend.”

George Osborne had vowed six years ago that austerity would wipe out the deficit, Corbyn said. “That’s the wonderful thing about George Osborne’s five-year plans: they’re always five years away,” he added.

Shopfloor workers, entrepreneurs and technicians should be put in the driving seat, the Labour leader said.

“We want to see a genuinely mixed economy of public and social enterprise, alongside a private sector with a long-term private business commitment, that will provide the decent pay, jobs, housing, schools, health and social care of the future. Labour will always seek to distribute the rewards of growth more fairly. But to deliver that growth demands real change in the way the economy is run,” Corbyn said.

Earlier on Saturday, shadow chancellor John McDonnell said the Blair and Brown governments had created an unfair tax system that made Britain a haven for the super-rich and that Labour would rewrite the rules of the economy.

McDonnell said the party must aspire to be another great reforming government when it returned to power.

Jeremy Corbyn will lay out plans to take parts of Britain’s energy industry back into public ownership alongside the railways and the Royal Mail in a radical manifesto that promises an annual injection of £6bn for the NHS and £1.6bn for social care.

A draft version of the document, drawn up by the leadership team and seen by the Guardian, pledges the phased abolition of tuition fees, a dramatic boost in finance for childcare, a review of sweeping cuts to universal credit and a promise to scrap the bedroom tax.

Party sources said Corbyn wants to promise a “transformational programme” with a package covering the NHS, education, housing and jobs as well as industrial intervention and sweeping nationalisation. But critics said the policies represented a shift back to the 1970s with the Conservatives describing it as a “total shambles” and a plan to “unleash chaos on Britain”.

Corbyn’s leaked blueprint, which is likely to trigger a fierce debate of Labour’s national executive committee and shadow cabinet at the so-called clause V meeting at noon on Thursday, also includes:

• Ordering councils to build 100,000 new council homes a year under a new Department for Housing.
• An immediate “emergency price cap” on energy bills to ensure that the average duel fuel household energy bill remains below £1,000 a year.
• Stopping planned increases to the pension age beyond 66.
• “Fair rules and reasonable management” on immigration with 1,000 extra border guards, alongside a promise not to “fan the flames of fear” but to recognise the benefits that migrants bring.

On the question of foreign policy, an area on which Corbyn has campaigned for decades, the draft document says it will be “guided by the values of peace, universal rights and international law”. However, Labour, which is facing Tory pressure over the question of national security, does include a commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defence.

The draft manifesto, which will only be finalised after it is agreed on Thursday, also makes clear that the party supports the renewal of Trident, despite Corbyn’s longstanding opposition to nuclear weapons.

An accompanying sentence to the policy – “any prime minister should be extremely cautious about ordering the use of weapons of mass destruction which would result in the indiscriminate killing of millions of innocent civilians” – has been removed from more recent versions, the Guardian understands.

After Corbyn generated controversy by saying he was “absolutely fine” with a second referendum being held in Scotland, the document makes clear Labour opposition to such a move. Instead, it says, the party will “campaign tirelessly to ensure that a desire to remain a part of the UK is respected”.

A section on Brexit states that Labour accepts the terms of the referendum result and will seek to unite the country around the deal. A trailed policy to rip up the Conservative’s white paper on the issue and replace it with a plan that emphasises the benefits of the single market and customs union is included – along with a pledge to unilaterally guarantee the rights of EU citizens and offer parliament a “meaningful vote” on the final agreement.

Other policies in a draft that could stir controversy include ruling out a “no deal” scenario on Brexit, only sending the armed forces to combat if “all other options have been exhausted” and a 20:1 pay ratio for companies with public sector contracts.

The manifesto claims that the policies will be fully costed as part of Labour’s fiscal credibility rule under which the shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, has promised to maintain an “iron discipline” in day-to-day spending. The money will be raised through tax rises for those earning over £80,000 – although full details of such a policy are not included – and a reversal of corporation and inheritance tax cuts.

However, the party is prepared to borrow £250bn to fund capital spending infrastructure and will promise to set up a national investment bank.

The plans for the energy market do not represent wholesale nationalisation but steps similar to those in Germany to break down the dominance of a handful of companies.

The draft manifesto promises a temporary emergency price cap “while we transition to a fairer system for bill payers”. It also promises to “take energy back into public ownership to deliver renewable energy, affordability for consumers, and democratic control”.

Jeremy Corbyn will lay out plans to take parts of Britain’s energy industry back into public ownership alongside the railways and the Royal Mail in a radical manifesto that promises an annual injection of £6bn for the NHS and £1.6bn for social care.

A draft version of the document, drawn up by the leadership team and seen by the Guardian, pledges the phased abolition of tuition fees, a dramatic boost in finance for childcare, a review of sweeping cuts to universal credit and a promise to scrap the bedroom tax.

Party sources said Corbyn wants to promise a “transformational programme” with a package covering the NHS, education, housing and jobs as well as industrial intervention and sweeping nationalisation.

Labour’s manifesto proposals could be just what the economy needs


The Conservative manifesto calls for continued austerity, which will tend to slow the economy at a crucial juncture, against the backdrop of Brexit negotiations. Their spending cuts have hurt the most vulnerable and failed to achieve their intended debt and deficit reduction targets.

In contrast, Labour’s manifesto proposals are much better designed to strengthen and develop the economy and ensure that its benefits are more fairly shared and sustainable, as well as being fiscally responsible and based on sound estimations.

We point to the proposed increases in investment in the future of the UK and its people, labour market policies geared to decrease inequality and to protect the lower paid and those in insecure work and fair and progressive changes in taxation.

There is no future for the UK in a race to the bottom, which would only serve to increase social and economic inequality and further damage our social fabric. On the contrary, the UK urgently needs a government committed, as is Labour, to building an economy that really works “for the many, and not only the few”.

It’s clear to the many young people and to unsceptical party veterans like me, who are out canvassing every day for Labour, that Corbyn, “…not the person he has been portrayed as…”, is creating rather than riding the surge (“Corbyn rides Labour surge as pollsters look for an explanation – but volatile electorate could keep them guessing”, Election Special).
