It's the same old journey - he's on the political version of the Circle Line and can't decide where to get off.

He and Trump both criticised Nato but they now both seem happy with it.

Trump has managed to get some nations to stump up a bit more dosh. Why are Germany paying well below 2%?

And so they should pay 2%, I agree with Trump on this. Maybe Germany was investing more in renewables to make up for Trump's lack of commitment in this area?

Re: June 8th General Election
In yet another demonstration of unity with Dianne Abbott it seems our 'not really a Marxist' Shadow Chancellor doesn't quite know how big the deficit is.
Quote:
John McDonnell has been accused of Googling the deficit figure in a radio interview with Nick Robinson, after he quoted the figure given on Wikipedia rather than the most recent figure.
When asked what the national deficit was, the Shadow Chancellor said it was £70bn, the figure given on Wikipedia.
However, it appears he got it wrong by £18bn; the deficit is in fact around £52bn, and it appeared he was quoting the 2015-16 figure.
He was being questioned on the Radio 4 Today programme ahead of Labour's manifesto launch later today.
Rustling during the conversation indicated Mr McDonnell was passed a note in the interview.

I wonder if the source of his mystery papers was the same one that could be clearly heard whilst Ms Abbott was struggling to cope with some very basic questions about the party's pledge to recruit more police a couple of weeks ago.
Listen to him squirm here:

Labour and numbers - they just don't add up.

Our CF Election Poll has been struck with the Abbot. Trojan virus, the poll numbers just don't add up at all. I'm sure Conservatives were on 42, and not what it's at now.

Re: June 8th General Election
Labour's plan for 30% corpoaration tax is going to make Ireland's 12.5% look very attractive to big business whereas smaller businesses that have already been hard hit by revalued business rates, cannot re-locate and are struggling are likely to go under.
The current rate here around 20% on many £billions is better than 30% of diddley squat.
It happened under Labour in the 70's with the resulting mass unemployment and rocketing interest rates. Under Corbyn's . Labour it would happen again only much worse. The last few years in France and more severely Venezuela, should be a lesson to all.
Could you afford your mortgage with a 15% interest rate?

The thing is that he doesn't know because he doesn't really care. As a marxist, he knows that he'll simply tax us all to get more money. People like him don't sweat over the deaths of thousands (or millions ) of people when it comes to furthering their communist agenda. The small details like what the deficit stands at are immaterial to him.

No the sudden upsurge to 42,000,000 is due to the great British public having just woken up after listening to the recent interviews of Corbyn, McDonnell, Abbott, Rayner, Long-Bailey, Dromey et al.

Re: June 8th General Election
Doesn't look like Corbyn's planning to reverse all those terrible benefit cuts imposed by the nasty evil Tories that he's spent years moaning about. I wonder why not.

I'd say that's a start at least. It'll be interesting to see what the Tories are going offer those that really need help. Or will they just concentrate on helping the rich at the poor's expense.
Though they are all as bad as each other anyway.
