Otherwise Labour will be out in the wilderness for at least 10 years and will take another 5 years to gain some credibility. In the meantime the Tories will march on with total freedom and power to indulge their evil ideology and subject the working people of this country to endless austerity and exploitation. As if Brexit isn’t enough of a terrifying prospect!

Whilst he is Shadow Chancellor, Labour will have zero economic credibility..

Relying on a magic money tree does not mean you can get away with economic incompetence… which is what voters see and fear in Labour.

It is risible to suggest any Party lead by Corbyn will ever have any reputation for competence in any sphere of operation.After all, he cannot organise a relaunch without contradicting himself the same day… Makes Hammond’s Budget U turn in a week look staid.
