Corbynomics: A Dystopia

Even by the very low standards of pig-thick racist Diane Abbott, this is a staggeringly poor performance. It's all to easy to laugh at but I guess we should remind ourselves this is the person Labour would appoint as Home Secretary if they won the election. Truly a sobering thought.

Charitably, I think what she was trying to say was that the policy would cost £300 million a year eventually, and £800 million over five years (adding up the annual costs that build to the eventual £300 million). Instead she said £300k and £80 million, without apparently understanding what either of those figures were, or that they were nonsense.
Probably she was looking at a piece of paper, with which she had not previously troubled to familiarise herself, in which these figures were expressed in thousands. Thus £300 million would be £300 000k, and £800 million would be £800 000k. What on earth she was on about with the police headcount numbers I simply cannot fathom.
With that typical sneery aggressive arrogance she always oozes, she then went on to suggest that it was the interviewer who had got it wrong.
These people aspire to rule us.0 -

That is charitable.
The fact is when you have a magic money tree - who cares what anything costs?0 -

It was claimed by the BBC(?) that in no interview they'd seen that day had Abbott been asked for numbers until the cluster muck one. The interview was so bad it even made the breakfast show on ABC in Australia!Money doesn’t make you happy—it makes you unhappy in a better part of town. David Siegel0 -

Exclusive: 100 moderate Labour MPs to form breakaway group if Jeremy Corbyn stays on after a Tory landslideLabour faces a historic split after the election with as many as 100 of the party's MPs set to walk out and form their own breakaway group in an attempt to force out Jeremy Corbyn, The Telegraph can disclose. Moderate Labour candidates are already in talks with potential donors about a new “Progressives” group forming in Parliament if Mr Corbyn stays on as leader after a Tory landslide.
One potential scenario is for the MPs to resign the Labour whip and become independents grouped together in the Commons under the Progressives banner.
They could then rejoin the Parliamentary Labour Party once Mr Corbyn had been replaced with a leader they supported.0
