I see Corbyn's cronies are making contingency plans for a possible run on the pound if Labour were to be elected. Why would that be? They keep telling us their plans are costed, affordable, sound, right for Britain etc. etc. so why would they be so scared of any such eventuality? They tell us they're responsible and it's the current incumbents who're ruining the economy so why wouldn't the outcome of a Labour victory be for the markets to say hallelujah, pour their money into Sterling and invest in UK PLC?

If they're really worried about the markets then maybe they ought to examine their policies rather than planning for the event. They can legislate as much as they like but if the markets don't like what they see of Labour's strategy then a short term run on Sterling is the least of their and our worries I'd have thought.
