I'm more concerned about Home Care services  but nobody seems to be mentioning them.

Is it included in the NHS money?

Also Care home charges which are extortionate. What happened to the report that was due years ago but never seemed to materialise. 

To be honest I think Labour and the Liberals are doing their best to gift the election to the Tories.Speaking to a life long Labour voter the other  day and he said he feels no connection what so ever with the current leadership and I dont think he is alone. Brexit aside I don't think traditional Labour voters feel the leadership are doing enough to address the real issues that affect their day to day life  and the Free internet policy typifies that.

Re: Care and care homes. Jeremy Corbyn said he wanted to make it free, but it's not something I've heard him repeat, so I'm not sure if it's a aspiration or an intention. It used to be free back in the days when higher education was free along with other things that now seem to cost the earth.

I don't think you have to particularly like Jeremy Corbyn to vote Labour, just agree with their policies, and the policies are for the benefit of most people. For the many, not the few.

I think St Jeremy (who must not be criticized) has just made our Country bankrupt (again) in the most unlikely scenario of him attaining the heady heights of been PM of our Country.   £1.2 Trillion pledged. Madness just sheer madness, and still a month to go, maybe if Jezza tries hard enough he may be able to get it up to 2 trillion.

I think anyone who has willingly given farage money isn't in any position to call any one mad.

I'll never understand why some members of the most fortunate generation to ever have lived in this country became so narrow minded, mean spirited, backward looking, joyless and wallowed in self pity.

What percentage of businesses don't already have broadband?

 

If it's aimed at business, why not just subsidise businesses cost of broadband through tax breaks etc...

It isnt't aimed at business, Anna B doesn't know what she is talking about.

 

The free broadband idea is actually quite simple.  It's an attempt to narrow the social divide.  Labour knows that access to the internet is arguably the most powerful tool for education and think it is fair to ensure that everyone has access to it and not just simply the people who can afford it.  It should be seen as an extension to everyone's entitlement to education.

 

I am not even surprised that the majority of people on here can't see it.  You lot would have benefited from free broadband it seems.

To early to say really as although he seems bunglish  so far, there's not many skeletons in his closet that would come close to the graveyard that Corbyn has stashed away. 

wow, are you serious?, im sure if Corbyn had any skeletons in his cupboard the Tory owned media would have found them...and up to now they have nothing on him...but Boris? hes a proven liar

What are you getting for that? 

 

Whats the brexit total so £6.4bn? Anyway you’ve got brexit company, sorry party candidates suing Nigel because he’s pulled the rug from under them. Some of them have invested hundreds, and now they’ve lost the lot and not even started. Hilarious.
