What’s in Labour’s leaked manifesto?

Labour is meeting today to finalise its manifesto. The only sticking point? A draft manifesto has already been leaked. The party’s plans to woo voters are splashed across the Daily Telegraph and the Mirror. They’ve also been leaked to the BBC. Make no mistake: this is a huge embarrassment for the party and does nothing to dispel the Tory attack line that Labour would be at the forefront of a coalition of chaos if it wins come June 9th. After all, if it can’t get its manifesto launch right, how can Labour be trusted to govern?

So what does the manifesto say? There are few surprises. But for Corbyn’s supporters, this is a Christmas and birthday wishlist rolled into one. For those in the centre ground, there’s much less on offer to win their vote.

Labour says it will renationalise the railways – an argument Corbyn has been making for decades. For fed-up commuters, this isn’t a bad policy in itself.
