The modern "Labour' party.
Their aim is to use it to push the Biden conspiracy theories.
And you want someone else to pay for it.
As my old Dad used to say - I wouldn't give him a job sweeping up.
The big cities of the North vote Labour. As do the big cities of the South.
Beyond that, across England and Wales you can pretty much map Labour to this map of UK coalfields, and it has little to do with North/South, other than the South isn't exactly coal country.

Oh.
King Arthur Pendragon: Our political classes have been paralysed, whilst the rest of the world has passed by us. I might not know what works, but I know what does not.
Don’t ram Boris’ deal through with little or no scrutiny just to get it over the line as the Tories would. Don’t pretend the referendum didn’t happen as the Lib Dems would. Don’t subject us to Groundhog Day and start all over again as Labour would.
And don’t leave without a deal as the Brexit Party would!
I voted remain, but like most people who accept the will of the people, I just want to get it over with,and would back any deal that works for us and our European neighbours

One assumes that the current fudge - civil servants running the show, and MPs by-and-large legislating for Northern Ireland only when they have to (i.e. on matters of supply) - is likely to carry on for years.
Why did trump risk so much on dirt on Biden? The answer is either feared Biden or is just stupid.
Labour is now more a London than Northern party under Corbyn

But actually its a smart way of getting the message out.
Any decent small c-conservative would be safely at home with a cup of tea, or perhaps cocoa, if not already in bed by this time of night.
£83bn - let's say that's true and forget it's a lowball.
From that £23bn is raised on corporations by increasing corporation tax, this will apparently have no negative impact on employment or investment. Sure.
£60bn comes from those earning more than £80k. There are around 1.3m people who earn more than that in the UK. Quite simply there aren't enough people to get that kind of money from. It works out to an average tax rise of over £40,000 per person in that wage bracket.
This manifesto is fantasy. Nothing in it is credible and anyone who chooses to vote for Labour for any reason is part of that fantasyland.
We're headed for sunlit uplands.
There's talk of Wakefield (constituency) going blue. I'm doubtful.
But Tricket (Hemsworth) and Cooper (PonteCarlo/CasVegas) will be red until 2029 at least. That'll be 40 years after the bulk of the mining jobs went.

Who knows?
Who is the woman from the Torygraph, she looks terrified?
catchy

And the bloke who went crazy over the tax rises didn’t seem to get much support when the crowd realized he was on over 80,000 a year .
That’s a hell of a lot of money to most people.
It also reinforces Pulpstar's excellent point earlier about how old industrial areas are eventually become commuter towns. After about 40 years.
In a plausible worst case scenario for Labour, Workington, Durham NW, Bishop Auckland, High Peak, Canterbury, Stroud, Bassetlaw, East Lothian and every Labour seat in North Wales could all go in one night.
In other words the sums are stupid and a lot more people will have to pay a lot more tax.
Does ANY mainstream press / TV political journalist realise:
1) The abolition of the marriage tax allowance means that any married person earning over £12,500 will pay extra income tax (if their spouse is not using their full personal allowance).
2) The changes to Dividend taxation mean that anyone with a small business making profits who then pays themselves a dividend will be paying more income tax (if their total income is over £12,500).
I haven't seen the above mentioned on any TV news programme. Is it in any of the morning's papers?
Yet every journalist continues to churn out "only those earning over £80k will pay more tax".
Journalists know so little about the subjects they are attempting to report on that unless someone else literally spoon feeds them what is going on they simply haven't got the faintest idea.
Conservative Central Office needs to have the above points on every journalist's desk right now.
Are they proposing a tax rat for people earning over £80k to get that £60B?
#1 - out in the week with some friends from school from two and a half decades ago. Politics little discussed apart from that one friend now in Guildford favours the Lib Dems as they are Remainiest. However, what struck me was the utter confidence of these people - almost everyone either setting up in business on their own, or buying a bigger house, or buying a second home. Clearly no-one cowed by the prospect of Brexit and/or Corbyn (delete whichever you like to fear most). One of these people was wearing a 'JC for PM' t-shirt two years ago, though his enthusiasm seems to have waned (particularly given that he is one looking to buy a holiday home). Will the Labour manifesto focus any of these minds? Probably not - a breezy confidence that all will be fine and a general unlikelihood of voting Conservative amongst this cohort will overcome that, I think.
#2 - discussing politics with my mother-in-law. She and most of her friends/family voted Remain but the negotiations have hardened attitudes, and are now firmly in the leave camp. Feeling is that MPs are playing silly buggers and that Boris should be given a chance with a majority. Particular scorn for local MP Antoinette Sandbach who claimed to be pro-leave while consistently voting to make leave impossible and who is being somewhat mendacious with her election literature (though I suspect no more than most). Also thinks (as one with connections to Catalonia) that Spain is behaving disgracefully and finds it alarming that our continental brethren are jailing people for holding referenda.
Based on which: Guildford LD gain, Eddisbury Con hold.
It’s a free country, Tories can attack this anyway they want. But if you genuinely believe this is Marxist or even socialist all your opinions are diminished in my eyes. This is a manifesto written by trade union barons, hence the policies like renewing trident has come from radicals caving in to their paymasters.
Where’s the democracy in the Labour Party when what conference votes for is ignored or watered down by craven leadership giving in to union paymasters? The Labour Party membership are just leaflet delivering canon fodder.
What leaps out from this list is a King Corbyn Runnymeded over by Union Barons. It’s not a list of Marxism or radical socialism at all. If there were any tanks on the lawn they didn’t fire a shot. The beer and sandwiches gulped down with greedy wild eyed relish last weekend.
Don’t confuse british trade unionism with socialism, Marxism, anarchism or anything faintly interesting and radical, merely inflating the public sector, state funded infrastructure projects, standing at football matches, and having lots of bank holidays to have a rally around a hotdog van somewhere.
In the reality away from Pb.com 21st Nov 2019 was a bleak day for Marxism and socialism.
2019, it looks like the overall view is the Labour manifesto is fantasy bullshit, which they have zero competence to deliver.
Surely Boris will come up with something popular and plausible on Sunday.
Sherelle Jacobs is the journo who 'went viral' following a Sky News interview earlier this year (which seems like about a decade ago).

History would seem be against the Canadians.
The Conservatives have a massive job on their hands getting it through to people that the vast majority will be paying more - both in higher taxes and also (and perhaps more importantly) in higher interest rates.
How many 1st time buyers are looking forward to going into negative equity? Yet most people appear blissfully unaware of what is coming if Lab wins.
Seems to be set to encourage private health insurance takeup by companies. Unless I'm missing something here...
I think your Guildford friends are right, though they will not like the cultural cringe of Brexit, they will remain prosperous. Sunderland will enjoy the sovereignty of the dole queue.
And claims Boris campaigns better than May is laughable so far.

Who knows how they are in fact going down amongst the wider public when people can’t even agree on what a specific audience think.
