When O'Neil asked Corbyn about national security Corbyn wanted to talk about the importance of climate change. Says it all.

Not a serious level politician who should be considered for national leadership. I'll give the Labour party credit for having a leader who reflects their grass roots activists.....but he isn't running against May here.....He's running against a popular politician. Brexit is coming.

Edited by Stirlingsays (26 Nov 2019 9.37pm) Did you read the link (from a Government site) which very clearly stated 'The UK government’s gross reserves increased by billion to 1 billion at the end of January 2019' .

Some free advice here. Anyone still thinking of voting for Corbyn after that train wreck of an Interview, I suggest you see a doctor in the morning.

But we are still in debt and the main thrust of the interview was tax, tax, tax, borrowing, borrowing, borrowing. I’d be confident if I knew it was for a limited time, which it would be but unfortunately because it would no doubt get out of control. 1. Every pound ever printed comes with debt (interest) so the debt can only ever grow, never ever reduce. The ever devaluing 'fiat' currency forced upon us all is the one constant regardless of political colours at the helm. The elephant in the room.

I'll say that I'm not a fan of neo liberal conservatism that's true but Boris.....for example, isn't going to be spending around 130 billion (when you include these pension payments) rather than 2.9 billion and destroying the economy.....Or getting the education system to teach my sons that the British empire was something to be ashamed of. So for me, it isn't really comparable.
