Just listened to Corbyn outline Labour's manifesto ...
He claims that he's taking on the wealthy business elite. That they'll be who he'll mainly be targeting for the extra £80bn a year he says is necessary to finance all his spending plans. I can see him needing a fair bit more than that but he says it's costed, so fair enough. All seems pretty straight forward then: this wealthy business elite simply agrees to play ball, operating in a deliberately reduced market while funding 'lifelong' student tuition, the re-nationalisation of mail, rail, water and energy, a free broadband for all program, a 4 day working week and various other goodies. I suppose this wealthy business elite could always just decide to say fuck all that, there's no money to be made here, and simply clear off to invest elsewhere. But Jezza would've figured all that out, I'm sure.
