Yes, I'm sure foreign investors will be praying for a Labour government to put corporation taxes up.Well, just wrong again. Here's a sample.
• Mandate the new National Investment Bank, and regional development banks in every region, to identify where other lenders fail to meet the needs of SMEs and prioritise lending to improve the funding gap.
• Reinstate the lower small-business corporation tax rate.
• Introduce a package of reforms to business rates – including switching from RPI to CPI indexation, exempting new investment in plant and machinery from valuations, and ensuring that businesses have access to a proper appeals process – while reviewing the entire business rates system in the longer run.
• Scrap quarterly reporting for businesses with a turnover of under £85,000.
Whereas your idea is "Invest in Britain, we're imposing tariffs"

Conservatives eh. What are they like? We have to tighten our purse strings because of the deficit / debt and yet the Conservatives give up the £7 billion bonus from the European Investment Bank as part of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement.
This sum hasn't been included in the final settlement figure.
Depends on the context.
I posted this on the Conservative thread earlier but probably equally appropriate on the Brexit thread.... its about how the Tories have quietly given away £7 billion to the Eu (in addition to the divorce settlement) without actually telling the electorate.
Don't disagree. Corbyn is also a bullshitter.at risk of repeating myself, they all do... Corbyn set the prerequisites clearly for a GE and is now adding more to the list
So, genuine question, You'd trust Corbyn and his front benchDon't disagree. Corbyn is also a bullshitter.
What makes Johnson different is that he is an out and out liar as well. He makes stuff up to back up his points. He doesn't just twist facts, he invents them. He's been sacked for lying. Lies that spring to mind include the Leave bus, denial of his Turkey comments, Hillsborough slur, eurocoffins and standard bananas, manx kippers, denial that he has any responsibility for the Zagari-Ratcliffe situation etc. etc. Then there's his personal untrustworthiness. He won't even admit how many children he's got!
He is the first prime minister that I remember that I don't trust to have the best interests of the country and its people at heart irrespective of his politics, so it's not just an anti-Tory thing.
It doesn’t? Tomatoes are a fruit used as a vegetable.
As the old adage goes: knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
Thought while we still in the eu we keep paying them whats due?
At least he's not a liar...A Unionist view from Belfast. There is going to be a world of hurt from hardcore Unionists over Johnson’s fateful decision to sell out NI.

when we exit the EU, is utter madness. Fixed that.Yes, I'm sure foreign investors will be praying for a Labour government to put corporation taxes up.
To do that, when we exit the EU, is utter madness.

Not really, but more than I'd trust Johnson.So, genuine question, You'd trust Corbyn and his front bench

That is the Trump and Johnson way.Lying in the open is something new but lying itself is not.
It honestly doesn't matter what anyone says anymore because whether it is a lie or not is irrelevant.
The opposition will call it out but then what does that change? No-one is going to turn and vote Labour because Boris lied.
The only thing that matters is to keep your audience so entrenched that they'll happily plead ignorance on anything you could do wrong.
Wow what a fucking mess we're in....Yep.... i think the last ten years has shown that
- we've been constantly lied to by the Conservatives (austerity was a political choice to deliver corporate tax cuts)
- We've been put through a referendum that needn't have happened (simply to solve an argument in the Tory Party) and which will probably result in the breakup of the union
- We've been led into a war at great cost in Libya which was more about regime change (i know Tony B Liar led us into one as well .. and I didnt agree with that one either)
- We've seen creeping privatisation of the NHS
- Erosion of workers rights
- Increase in Foodbanks
- Increase in homelessness
- Pensions stolen (women's and widows)
trusting Corbyn (and Im not a fan) and his front bench seems a safer alternative. Labour policies are good and sound ... focus on policies not personalities
Too late to try selling it now, I'm afraid.when we exit the EU, is utter madness. Fixed that.
