Well I'll let you know why the IFS assess the LibDem manifesto pledges as being (the most) affordable/viable - simples - the UK doesn't leave the EU with the LibDems in charge and the IFS took the 'leave-hit' to the economy into account

Or analysed further - 1000 a day at each of 300 sites.
According to industry figures, a professional planter can plant 1,000 trees each day.
This means that three people, working full-time, could have planted the 887,000 trees which were planted over the course of the year.

In an area, literally, the size of Wales.....
I thought we were filling in all the greenbelt with the thousands of extra houses we need...where are the trees going to go...?
Anyone got a spare 5 million acres...?
even if they only plant one they would have done better than the torys pledge to build 200,000 new homes or get immigration down to tens of thousands
Its listed as her professional account is it? It say LK professional account? C'mon Paul, we're all allowed a personal opinion. I agree its cutting close to the bone, her being such a high profile journalist but I differentiate.... BTW, I don't like her as a journalist, and I do think she is a bit 60/40 occasionally but I have no problem with a personal account. After all, as I do, you are free to take it with a huge pinch of salt.

Labour candidate says her party does not deserve the support of voters
Carolann Davidson, who is standing for Labour is East Renfrewshire, said her party "has totally failed from the leadership down" to deal with anti-Semitism.
Speaking at a hustings event last night Ms Davidson said she was not going to ask those gathered to vote for her "because we don’t deserve it".
"Labour has totally failed, from the leadership down, about anti-Semitism," she said.

So I’m not here asking for your vote, so you’ll say why are you here as a Labour candidate?
I want to reassure you as a community that there are still people within the Labour party who are not willing to surrender the party, that was once the strongest ally of the Jewish Community, to racists and conspiracy theorists.
I can’t defend the indefensible. What I can do is tell you who I am and what I stand for.

Where I disagree with you is that Imo Brexit has been frustrated by Parliament, not the Torys, not Labour, Not the SNP or Libdems but all of them, they have cheated us out of the pledge they made and its disgusting. Yes many of the people responsible are Torys but its blinkered to only blame them.

Interesting that despite a lot of hate for Bojo (the 350m/day for NHS was plain wrong - but they all lie and misdirect) - he is still considerably more respected than the lying, anti-semitic denying, Marxist, terrorist-sympathiser Corbyn!

Do you honestly believe any of the parties are deliberately setting out to destroy the country... honestly! I think the current labour party if in power will be a disaster for the country but rather than suggest thats their objective I think they genuinly believe they are our savours even though their plans are unafordable and proven by anyone anywhere who have tried these policies to end up wrecking economies.
Here you go then, explain how Labours manifesto is affordable, where the revenue streams will come from and how the huge amounts of borrowing will be repaid.

How much do these trees cost or are they being pruned from the money tree.

It has been pointed out to you endlessly and you fail to notice it ... and it’s more credible than the usual justification about the Brexit strategy

Ricochet!!!!! That one bounced off a number of walls in its deflection. All the KGB set have pointed out to me are muppet soundbites. Now come on, Ive asked you to explain so please have a go while I put the kettle on. Milk and one sugar was it.

I'm genuinely interested in this. How about doing it in small bites. Maybe start with the £58bn to the WASPI's that Corbyn struggled with in the Andrew Neil interview. You, me and even the ship's cat knows it isn't costed. How about not doing the politician thing and admitting it isn't costed? If you want some help have a look at Corbyn's answers to Neil - you can see it on YouTube.
That aside, I agree with him. It should be paid... but where's the money coming from. Having the right social policies and funding them are two different things.

In fairness, some of it can come from the money being taken off married people where one is working and on basic tax rate. Although I think Corbyn justified it by saying there were unmarried couples not getting it.

No, we ate it all earlier with some of the nonsense coming from north of the border 😣
