Tory have said they will get the best possible deal. They are negotiators. Corbyn just beleives they will get the access they want.

Labour are willing to pay the full 100bn quoted, where are they going to get this then?

The EU will do what they believe is right to keep the EU in tact. If the UK gets the same deal we had in there or similar, without having to pay the membership fees other countries will follow. Not something they want.

No deal is better than a bad deal. If Liverpool wanted 100m for Sakho, should we buy him with the worry we might go under? Crap comparison I know, but it works in a similar way.

Corbyn says the 100bn is a figure he doesn't recognise - i.e. he wouldn't just accept it.

No deal is the worst possible deal. Your analogy is completely unfit for a relationship as complex as ours with the EU. No deal doesn't exist. There have to be certain rules and agreements to be able to do any trade, share security info or even go on holiday to Europe.

Kier Starmer would be much better a negotiator IMO than anyone the Tories have to offer.

Well this is awkward.

You do realise that the graph showing shorter bars since New Labour left government means they have spent LESS as a % of GDP not more? Also that data is from 2013 and we've moved forward in time 4 years since then? It's fallen every year since 2010 as a % of GDP up to and including this year. Whatsmore our public spending is reasonably small compared to other economies around the world, so it can hardly be described as having been abnormally large. All these cuts, destroying public services, but still they miss every target on the deficit and debt. That simple graph also ignores aspects like the NHS funding gap (aka underfunding) and the cuts in school per pupil budgets and cuts in the police force just to name a couple.

Labour's proposal for corporation tax would see CT on SMALL businesses at 20%. I assume you've overlooked that fact? He's actually said the opposite saying that small businesses are the lifeblood of the economy and it's big business that has had an unfair advantage and been exploitative. The increase in minimum wage would enable people to have a proper living wage and Labour have said they would look at providing tax breaks to small businesses impacted. Furthermore improvements in education and productivity resulting from investment in education and training will benefit businesses small and large.

Neither party has said anything about specific trade deals, however I would imagine Labour would be more concerned with protecting workers rights while tackling world poverty than the Tories.
