More Corbyn Vapourware

The duplicitous Corbyn just can't help himself. He will promise the moon on a stick to anyone, whatever it takes to get votes. But when challenged about the actual cost of these pie in the sky Looney notions, then it becomes clear it's all just vapourware.



He promised to deal with student debt and then his own Looney minister had to tell him that it would cost £100bn at which point the promise became an "ambition".

Now he's promising to scrap planned increases to the state pension age but when challenged about the fact that this would cost £20bn the answers just aren't there as usual or as Bob Dylan said:

"The answers my friend are blowin in the wind"

Re: More Corbyn Vapourware

Of course Corbyn himself won't be worried about pensions as he has rather a lucrative one.


According to a Telegraph article:

"As an MP he is entitled to a gold-plated pension which will pay out almost £50,000 a year. He also benefits from the state pension and an entitlement from his time at Haringay Council in North London.

Those in receipt of the basic state pension get just over £6,000 a year by comparison."

Is that his fault?

Re: More Corbyn Vapourware

Would that be a potential £100bn?

Always good to see the other side of the argument.
