Looney Labour MP Clueless on Costs

Total cluelessness of the actual costs of Looney Labour plans and pledges seems to be a running theme right across the camp.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017...r-doesnt-know/

"Debbie Abrahams, the shadow work and pensions secretary, said a Labour government would look at how to abolish the benefits cap which limits certain welfare payments for households to £20,000 outside London and £23,000 inside the capital"

"However, while she insisted getting rid of the cap, which applies to approximately 116,000 households, would not cost an “astronomical” sum she admitted Labour had not actually costed the proposal."

"However, when pushed on how much that decision would cost taxpayers the Labour frontbencher was unable to say and her inability to put a price tag on the policy is likely to reignite concerns about the party’s economic credibility"



"Tory MP Amanda Milling MP said: "It's clear that Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party are still an economic shambles - with a magic money tree of policies that don't add up."

"Scrapping the benefits cap would mean households can claim an unlimited amount of benefits - with the cost borne through higher taxes for ordinary working families or ever more debt for young people growing up today."

Looney Labour . . . . unfit to govern.

Re: Looney Labour MP Clueless on Costs

This is one promise I don't agree with, many in work don't get as much in wages as those figures, but my way is to lift waged persons up not bash benefit receivers down.

I'd be interested to know who got those amounts too, as I don't know anyone gets any where near it.

Hi

These are not simple questions.

It will be months before some answers are known.
