I seem to recall the last Labour government calling a lot of expenditure "investment" and it caused some problems ...
Not only that but one of the biggest expenditure items in the budget is interest and borrowing tens of billions for "investment" will increase interest payments which will increase the deficit. Let alone thinking what happens if interest rates on the governments borrowing goes up.

Best to read it and apply your intellect to it, rather than going by how a Labour politician stands up to cross-examination in a TV studio by a Tory media man like Andrew Neil.
Surely the most disappointing thing about the whole Labour manifesto saga is that they could have kept some of these things back, short manifesto, limited pledges and fully costed. I heard Deborah Mattinson talking about 1997 manifesto and she said that you have to go out of character to get cut through, wouldn't a funded manifesto have done that. This manifesto is ridiculous, it's like the kind of thing a secondary school politics class would have come up with.

Betfred should not have accepted the bet IMO....
For many people watching Corbyn at the launch he will come across better than they expected. He got through with no great disaster.
Lots of people are really fed up with the establishment and will vote for and approve of anti establishment policies.
Of course his two biggest headline policies - free tuition and water in public ownership are already in place in Scotland.
One thought Labour in UK is staking everything on a radical programme. Labour in Scotland are trying to out Tory the Tories on the union.
Who do you think will fare better???
If he turns up at the bash, we should count his toes.
Student bets 10K on Labour.
Hasn't told his parents yet.
Will Republicans really turn on him for this? And will it happen fast enough to have him gone this year?
Historical comparison... Nixon impeachment started on February 6, 1974 when house of reps passed a resolution. Nixon resigned in August before a Senate trial had commenced.
Things moved quicker with Clinton but think that was because Starr had been investigating for ages.
Still took 3 months between house vote and senate trial. And that was with a Congress controlled by opposing party.
And we are strong, bor.
The man said he had previously placed smaller bets on football, but lost. However, he said he was “absolutely completely certain” Labour would win.
They can't do that Site Value Rating is destined to be the first bill of the next Liberal (Democrat) government!
Neither Johnson, Nixon, nor Clinton were charged because of crimes that could be labelled treason.
This is where Trump could finds himself in, he could take the GOP with him.
Do the GOP want to defend a treasonous President?
None of it is on Corbyn, some of it is on Labour - selectively - I might add.
Edit: "The man said he accumulated the £10,000 by working as a barman and waiter almost every night for four years while at university."
I actually feel bad for the guy.
"“I joined the Labour party so I could vote for Jeremy Corbyn. He is a most sound politician, so socialist, a person who would look after us all."
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

Like I said earlier, coupled with the witness intimidation and potential suborning perjury charges, this isn't going to be a fun time for Trump.
I rest my case
These two idiots bet big with their heart, and now have Norfolk & chance of seeing their cash again!
The PM needs an answer, and it would really help her if she could walk back the State Visit.
I feel much angrier about the people with families who blow the money they really need to spend on other things... Also fixed odds betting machines...
They seem to think reading is for posh people. More fool me (I haven't got TV) for thinking I could inform myself on a party's platform by reading its manifesto.
Rather than talking in their manifesto about IHT, they prefer to refer 11 times to transsexuals. Let's hope Eddie Izzard doesn't help Labour lose votes as he helped lose support for Remain. Most people don't want to accept advice on how things should be in society from a man who wears women's clothes and expects everyone to treat him as though he's not a nutter.
What Labour say about IHT is that they will reverse its reduction.
As for income tax, they give the figures in a footnote, in two lines printed in italics and a small font! They say the 45p rate will start at £80K and the rate will be 50p above £123K.
Taxing the rich harder - bloody great! Be proud of it! Put it through letterboxes and on posters. The rich are getting richer, the majority are getting poorer and living more precariously - hitting the rich should be a vote-winner. Sadly, as ever, people are susceptible to the idea that without all the poshies backing the government the day would soon come when men with beards who don't genuflect to "her majesty" would hand the country over to Russia. I'm talking about people who don't bump into many Russians at Ascot or in Mayfair.
Then again, there's nothing socialist about statements such as
"Labour understands that the creation of wealth is a collective endeavour between workers, entrepreneurs, investors and government. Each contributes and each must share fairly in the rewards."
As Foot put it years later, "How he must bitterly regret what he did."
And finally the base will believe anything h says. The only way they turn is if they are personally affected by something IMO - healthcare is best chance for that... But they won't lose it in 2017 even id the law passes this year...
