Corbyn is driven by a Marxist ideological quest - the facts have very little relevance to him or his naive followers

Living within your means is key to sustainability - vs reckless spending and saddling future generations with Greek style debt

Are you serious. So why have Tories raised the national debt more and more each year than what it was in 2010.They haven't lowered it at all

The Greek style debt that Corbyn would generate would create mayhem on a huge scale - socialists are addicted to spending but not repayment

The debt is rising under the Tories. They are doing nothing to stop this. How is that better?

Despite the efforts of the left they are trying to reduce public expenditure - you are right the cuts should be greater to balance the books

Economies were different, 2010 was a recesssion

Corporates and individuals still pay more to avoid it, if it's high.

But it won't be high, just higher than now and lower than the rest of the G7

High, higher... same outcome.

No data for the last 4 years....

So we'll ignore the lack of correlation in the years previous? Because they don't fit your bias?

Actual tax receipts have gone up... 2010 @ 28% was £43bn and 2016 @ 19% was £49bn...

So what u are saying is the Tories only collected £6bn more last year than during the recession caused by a global subprime housing crisis?

Brown sold our gold and was partially responsible for the financial meltdown. That is well documented.

Ok, since you insist on repeating the Tories/right wing press verbatim, YOU explain how that is accurate and "well documented".

Are you old enough to remember? Research it ! He did it to prop up an American bank

Of course. That wasn't the part of his tweet I was asking him expand on.
