It is blasè because there's no facts to back it up. Its an opinion amongst many leading economists that differs, so you can throw quotes at me all night there'll always be someone as respectable that says the complete opposite.

Well I own a business and voted labour, 2 of my old bosses voted Labour, a good friend of mine who's also a business owner voted labour.

You still haven't given me any viable reasons why Corbyns pledges were an attack on business owners, its "alarming" yes because I suppose no one likes paying more money but not everyone is that self absorbed, that should really be the lefts stance to business owners should it not? Your reply as to why us being at one of the lowest corporation tax rates in the g20 as being irrelevant had something to do with genital warts. So I take it you'd have no tax for corporations whatsoever then? I always ask Tories for facts about things, or evidence or methodology behind their sweeping statements and all they can do is send me a newspaper article where some economic bloke made more sweeping statements. I'm asking for facts and you've provided me with none. Why would we drive businesses away by raising corporation tax to a modest amount? And it is modest as I've shown you it is. The probable reason would be brexit more than anything, but oh yeah that's something that was brought about by you lot wasn't it. Those fishing waters and the rest of it

Can we assume that the PLP are behind Mr Corbyn now?

No you're getting mixed up with the ELO.

Theresa May (who I don't particularly like,think she is a very poor leader),tried to bring in a law in 2014,any one trying g to re enter the country after fighting for IS..people who voted against it...yes you have guessed it.
Jeremy Corbyn.
John Mcdonell
Dianne abbot

Surprise surprise.

The vote he's talking about is a vote to deprive an individual of their UK citizenship if "the Secretary of State is satisfied that the deprivation is conducive to the public good because the person, while having that citizenship status, has conducted him or herself in a manner which is seriously prejudicial to the vital interests of the United Kingdom, any of the islands, or any British Overseas Territory, even if to do so would have the effect of making the person stateless."

Every Labour MP voted no under a whip, not just Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott. That wording of 'conducive to the public good' and only on the decision of the Secretary of State was quite rightly voted against in my opinion. Creepy amount of state power otherwise to remove the citizenship of any who could be deemed to be a political opponent.

Edit: here's the bill in question [Link]

After being at so many IRA meetings? Never.

And he's not actually run the country either. Yet.

Corbyn's relationship with the IRA, insofar as it existed at all, was much more distant than that of the DUP leaders to the Protestant paramilitaries, whose main role was to kill Catholics for their religion after listening to the hate filled speeches of the DUP founder, Ian Paisley.
Presumably you will be demanding that the Conservatives have nothing to do with the DUP terrorists.

There is currently peace. Back then there were murders. And deaths on Englush soil.

Who are you going to defend today?
