This. If you extended this criticism of forgetting a costed figure which is in your manifesto to the Tories, then I'd agree with you. You do not.

Also, if you're going to uni to get a minimum wage job, then you may as well not go. Corporation tax was higher before - we're still lowest in the G7, even if Corbyn gets in.

I'll be 21 and (if I go to uni) looking for a job when his 5 years would end, and it's kind of terrifying how hard that would be to do if they raise corporation tax and the minimum wage like they plan to.  No one would be hiring and there would be a large number of young people out of a job.

Corporation tax in the UK is already the lowest out of all the G7 countries and the UK is on its way to be a corporate tax haven under the conservatives. Even with an increase in corporate tax like the Labour government proposed we would still have the lowest corporation tax in the G7. Yes it would lower investment and isn't the best decision due to Brexit being negotiated but it doesn't mean firms are going to stop hiring. 

The proposed nmw increase to £10 an hour for all workers aged 18 or over, this annually comes to £18,200 a year (7 hours work a day and 260 working days in a year). So if you did come out of uni with a degree this wouldn't impact your job hunt as most graduate jobs pay 20k+ so there would be no decrease in graduate jobs caused by an increase in the nmw.

Only good thing to come of this will be NI getting the money and attention it deserves, unfortunately under Conservatives and DUP I'm not sure where it'll go.

[Danny 1,225]

At least theirs no coalition of those pesky liberals and their taxes. 

Just yknow, Climate change deniers and Anti-Abortion.

Where's UKIP when you need them, plain racism doesn't seem so bad now.
