REASON 31<br />

A FULLY COSTED MANIFESTO<br />

TO BENEFIT ORDINARY<br />

Today Jeremy Corbyn forgot a number. Later on he apologised and<br />

PEOPLE<br />

explained the detail of the cost he had forgotten. The interviewer asking the<br />

question did of course have the ready prepared question in front of her and<br />

also had access <strong>to</strong> the figure - so the only reason <strong>to</strong> ask was <strong>to</strong> trip up the<br />

<strong>Labour</strong> leader.<br />

The significant point is that the <strong>Labour</strong> manifes<strong>to</strong> is a substantial document<br />

with lots of policies and there is also a well prepared supplementary<br />

document giving costs and funding proposals.<br />

I know that some supporters of other parties will disagree with the figures<br />

and try <strong>to</strong> pick holes in them, they'll say they are unworkable etc. But at least<br />

<strong>Labour</strong> have costings and funding proposals and are able <strong>to</strong> defend them.<br />

Plus of course the costs involved are for the benefit of the people of our<br />

country.<br />

But what about the conservative's position?<br />

The conservative manifes<strong>to</strong> is actually quite thin on policy and costings are<br />

pretty much invisible. There are no costings for Theresa May and her<br />

ministers <strong>to</strong> remember because they haven't work out any costs yet (or if<br />

they have they are far <strong>to</strong> scared <strong>to</strong> share them with mere voters).<br />

We don't need more austerity from a party that does not understand value<br />

and won't tell us about the costs of there rather vague manifes<strong>to</strong>.<br />

VOTE LABOUR BECAUSE WE NEED A GOVERNMENT WITH<br />

A PLAN AND WE DESERVE TO BE TOLD WHAT IT WILL<br />

COST AND HOW IT WILL BE FUNDED
