What they will get done of that 80% will be rolling forward EU free trade deals that we already enjoy as EU members. Although that simple process alone has taken more than 3 years and counting.

Boris Johnson has worked very hard to earn the heckles he gets.

The gap between Labour pledges and what they intend to raise to meet it is far narrower than the Tories. And the Tories missed loads of existing commitments out of their manifesto. What ever magic money tree forest you think labour needs the Tories needs to many acres bigger. They’re either not...

The French government has a bigger stake in British railways (Network Rail aside). Seem to remember reading somewhere that the French government was also a recipient of British government handouts to failing franchises because of this. Network Rail is a good argument also for renationalisation...

The actual facts are that this well documented liar claimed not to be one (another lie in itself) so the audience had to be given time to pick themselves up of the floor. He answers deliberately to outrage so he has less time to speak because the reality is he has nothing to say.

A) The government didn’t, councils did. B) it was £1.1B and a third of that came straight from existing council budgets. C) The additional funding came from the department for work and pensions not the £2.2B pledged for the building of starter homes.

War crazy Thatcherite in doesn’t like pacifist socialist shocker. That’s about the best endorsement Corbyn has ever got.

Labour are going to increase borrowing and raise taxes to deliver their manifesto. Will they be able to raise enough? Who knows. But it is a fact that the gulf between reality and fantasy in the Tory manifesto is far far wider than it ever could be in the Labour manifesto for the simple reason...

The irony there of course is that this is money that should have already been spent and it’s now going to fall on a Labour Party to not only put right a Tory crime it’s also only the Labour Party that will deliver one of Boris’ pledges he made during his Tory leadership campaign. Lie lie lie.

According to Northern Ireland’s loyalist community the surrender agreement is Boris’ Brexit deal with a border in the Irish Sea.

You lost your shit the other night when you concluded that Corbyn had said that he would break up the Union. All faux shock and anger, clearly.

The Tories are £2B short on their nurse recruitment pledge alone. That’s before you even get into that 19K of those “new” 50K of nurses are existing nurses so actually they’re only pledging 31K new nurses. They’ve also omitted from their manifesto spending commitments already made whereas other...

On increased spending, the manifesto pledges £3bn of extra day-to-day spending by the final years of the next parliament - a figure that looks considerably smaller than pledges from other parties. But these figures aren’t necessarily comparable - the Conservatives did not include costings for...

Diane Abbott must have done the sums for the Tory manifesto. The independent charity Full Facthas scrutinised today’s Conservative manifesto launch. On the cost of new nurses, of which the manifesto promises 50,000, Full Fact calculates that 50,000 extra nurses at pay band 5 (£24,000 per...

The Tories have one too according to the IFS.

Clearly I’m a millionaire with a conscience then as I’ve switched sides.

They serve the billionaires and the millionaires that serve the billionaires. The rest of us are just plebs who should be grateful that master gives us shoes on feet.

Triple lock on tax 'ties the hands of the chancellor' Earlier, we told you how the IFS's Paul Johnson felt the Tory manifesto showed a "remarkable" lack of significant policy action (see our post at 4.37PM). Now we can give you his thoughts on the "triple lock" on taxes - ruling out increases...
