That’s a different point though, the manifesto they claimed was fully costed the add ons afterwards were not in the manifesto and they’ve said they will borrow to cover those areas.
I wouldn’t expect any party to have a manifesto that covers every eventuality.

Its sounds like you're just making excuses for them. In fact, you are making excuses for them.

The Labour manifesto is the biggest spending/borrowing spree ever, and at a time when all economies are shrinking. Its madness. And Labour are adding to it... incredulous, and more so that people are just getting sucked in by it like starry eyed kids.

Laura Pillock just been on the radio saying the 4 day week isn't a Labour policy merely an aspirat ion, a soundboard they got out there ,now seems it's backtracking. Suspect they'll be a lot of this. Wonder if they correct this i n the wider nationa l coverage.

The 4 day week is not in the manifesto, it was a proposal backed at the Labour party conference.
Not all proposals passed at Party conferences become policies.

No I’m not, go to the post before were I said there are lies.
I’m simply making the distinction between what was in the manifesto and what wasn’t! And at no time did I say they were right to borrow the money.

It’s not in the manifesto for the next parliamentary 5 years, it could stay like that forever and never come in to law, if the aspiration becomes Law, fine, until then it’s simply that, an aspiration.

So this could also include the waspi and train fare announcements ?

Ah! The old two wrongs make a right argument.

The reverse of your quoted scenario has also been true with Labour being in power nationally on the back of Scottish votes and England having a Government it did not vote for.

More reason for independence for Scotland and others together with devolution for English regions.

It’s no problem trying to answer a question, I much prefer someone asking a question than someone posting some pointless one line quip trying to look clever.:rolleyes:
 
So trump denies anything to do with the NHS on Sky Interview. Time for Red Jezza to go back to the Ruskies and ask for clarity on the leaked 500 pages of nothing!!
