I'll continue to highlight Corbyn's lies as long as he's in charge of Labour, whether the next election against him is tomorrow or never.
I understand this is inconvenient for you. Sorry old chap.
Don't bank on a Remain-favouring Labour Govt anytime soon :j
You must have seen this in the "Brexit ...." thread.
Lord Sugar says Corbyn should resign because of that lie:The former Labour peer who quit the party in 2015 said Mr Corbyn had “alluded” to clearing student debt “to get votes from young impressionable people”.0 -

Nice way to avoid answering the question.
So I assume you're *not* going to hold the Tories to the same scrutiny you're holding Labour to?
I don't bother to respond to questions if they include references that suggest I read Nazi publications.
If you apologize & are civil from this point onwards I might bother to respond to you.
Otherwise not.0 -

I apologize for implying you get your political bias from the right wing press.
Are you now going to hold the Tories to the same level of scrutiny that you are the Labour party?0 -
It really does look more and more like labour are a complete shambles:A Labour MP has described the shadow international trade secretary’s position on Brexit as “fundamentally wrong”, calling his arguments “depressing and disingenuous”.0

As the Government of the day. There'll be judged on the outcomes of their policies and actions. There's no place to hide.0 -
Were many ex-students taken in by a single wording in an interview, compared to the hours of air time where he made it clear he wasn't promising to wipe the debt?
Newsthump has it nailed..

I happily criticize the Tories when they do stupid things. Their manifesto was a recent example. Their shift to the middle is equally misguided as was May's policy of surrounding herself with mediocre at best people. That aside I view a Tory Government, even the current fairly weak one, as a million times preferable to a Labour Govt under Corbyn.
Corbyn has never been a talented politician & his economics would be an utter disaster, however it was his choice to weaponize first terrorism & then Grenfell that made me really loathe him (& is the reason I'll do everything I can to point out his lies & inconsistencies wherever possible).0 -

I think you overestimate how much people care what you think about things;)
No-one except hardcore right-wingers desperate to find something to smear Corbyn with believes he made any commitment to write off student debt. His comments (which since they were in the NME were not widely read) are perfectly clear.
This is just a Tory PR team talking point, an attempt to “gotcha” Jeremy Corbyn as a substitute for having a policy discussion. The fact the Tories new BBC PR guru Robbie Gibb is reduced to sour grapes moaning such as this provides me with a great deal of re-assurance -parties that need to do this sort of thing in lieu of making political arguments are ideologically bankrupt.0
