Labour said they would back the result of the referendum so why would you vote for another group of serial liars?
Everyone knew leaving the EU would give short-term pain it is the price you pay for getting back control. You will voting Labour their house insulation policy is going to cost £250bn yes double what we put into the NHS - the initial £60bn will be borrowed and that is before they have bought everything back - Brexit will look chicken feed compared to what Labour intend to do - hope closing a few food banks and getting some of the rough sleepers of the streets is worth it
Interesting spin, again.
First of all, we're not out yet and the claims of 800k jobs may still be proven to be correct - we will have to wait and see.
However, NOBODY is predicting that we will be financially better off, post Brexit.
Labours version of Brexit includes a customs union and perhaps if this had been considered or negotiated within the deal, there may have been a little more support from the opposition benches and the DUP would certainly have been happier.
Spending pledges on both sides are already getting out of control and the election campaign hasn't even officially begun. the 60bn + 250bn are staggering figures though and that's before the usual domestic needs - NHS, Education, Housing, Police etc, etc.
Mind you, we are all well used for false pledges during political campaigns, not to mention vote leave breaking the law on spending during their campaign.
The modern style seems to be just say whatever is needed to win as there seems to be little consequence for fabricating policies or spending pledges.
