Jobs in peril as Labour seeks voters with a pack of lies and hopes voters are too dim

LABOUR are seeking power with a pack of lies they hope voters are too dim to rumble.

First the ever-expanding “magic money tree” manifesto. Now, Jeremy Corbyn claims he would create one ­million “decent” jobs for young people.

What an insult to our intelligence.

Labour intends to impose the highest tax burden in a lifetime. It is a nailed-on recipe for vast job losses.

Income tax hikes would strangle consumer spending, along with the inevitably swift interest rate rise now being predicted under a Labour Government.

Increasing the minimum wage beyond levels firms can afford would be a fatal blow to struggling small businesses and the staff they would have to lay off.

But the worst of it is reversing low corporation taxes, the very policy which has helped the Tories achieve all-time record levels of employment.

Since 2010 we have seen investment pouring in, start-ups galore and the tax take RISING. That  would all be blown apart at the very moment, with Brexit round the corner, when we need it most.

The young people flocking to Corbyn would pay the price of their naive Marxist fantasies with their jobs and futures.

We are not surprised at the dishonesty of Corbyn and John McDonnell. After all, they are openly lying about their years as IRA stooges in Westminster.

But the idea of Corbyn creating jobs instead of wrecking them is just laughable.

Apocalypse, no

DONALD Trump pulling out of the Paris ­climate deal is only a “catastrophe” if you believe it would work and the world would stick to it. Neither is likely.

The hysteria he generated by fulfilling his election pledge has been absurd.

Naturally, the Left blamed Theresa May for not denouncing the leader of the free world from the rooftops of No10.

They cheered as France’s new President Macron “stood up to” Trump, complete with the sneering, juvenile sign-off “make our planet great again”. They loved him urging US talent to emigrate to France — and signing a protest letter.

By welcome contrast Mrs May calmly urged the President of our No1 global ally to think again, and told him by phone that Britain WILL stick to the deal. That was the right response.

We’ll take Mrs May’s statesmanship any day over the glib grandstanding of Macron and the virtue-signalling Left.

Bring on Boris

BORIS Johnson is by a distance the Tories’ best election asset.

Indeed there’s no better politician on either side to win over undecideds . . . especially Brexit voters. And certainly no Tory better able to skewer Corbyn.

Polls open in about 120 hours. Downing Street should get Boris on the telly for about 100 of them.
