She really wasn't prepared for that, no idea why though??
I am constantly amazed by how many people put themselves forward to be interviewed by Neil and are utterly clueless. Don't they know that he is one of the best briefed interviewers in the business?
He's free to basically say what he wants as PLP have already written off the 2020 elections so he's probably thinking that he might as well give the activists what they want for a few years, cheer them up and create a buzz.

The bit about income and productivity percentage levels was priceless.
Mcdonell doesn't sound very excited. He sounds tired.
Yes I agree. I think there is a lot of argee bargee behind the scenes. Clive Lewis and Jeremy were arguing over his speech earlier and the unions are furious over the ban on fracking. McDonnell also ended very abruptly!
Didn't he say the treasury team were unavailable and she was from some other department?
Better to swallow the embarrassment and send no one.
She was better than Seema Malhotra last year but not a great deal. Seema just kept repeating " the Shadow a Chancellor has been very clear, that, ummm, he the Shadow Chancellor has been very clear that...." Desperately wishing the time was up!!
I'm listening to McDonnell's speech. Talk about promising to repaint rainbows a different colour. He's deluded to boot. He seems to think the world is as keen on Marxism as he is.
He makes Corbyn look credible and is a poisonous liar and yet I still wouldn't call on anyone to lynch him
Deluded marxist is too polite. All the usual left wing fantasy goodies, most of which they wouldn't deliver, as usual and no-one to cover the costs, as usual. Thank goodness they have no chance of power and long may it last.
McDonnnell is going to ban tax avoidance which is perfectly legal.
Hmmm.
In 2015, Labour ran a surplus of £4.3 million, but paid zero tax, while the Conservative Party ran a surplus of just over £1 million and paid £238,000 in tax.

I can see why the Momentum bods are so bouyed up. National Investment Bank, bigger co-operative sector, no fracking, stop selling arms, 10 pound Minimum Wage, Keynesian economics, high skilled high paid jobs, investment.....
It's actually a very exciting vision!
It's a shame it's Corbyn and McDonnell leading on these ideas because I do like the ideas and the narrative!
WHAT??
Let me see if I have this straight, you like what's being said, but not whose saying it?
You are weakening aren't you? Go on admit it, just take a deep breath and take that step over to the light side, you will be warmly welcomed, you say you are a Labour supporter then rejoice that the party is getting back to it's core values.

And the 'together' bit from the Tories. lol
At present the polls show 41% Conservative and 26% Labour.
Perhaps she's just tired out from writing Labour's Defence policy?
"Where's the money coming from", asked Neil and she just looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Trance like.
We've been through this already. The polls don't show this; one poll shows it. Other recent polls show Labour on 31-34%.
The weekly voting intention poll is posted in the Opinion Polls thread every week and that is what the latest one shows.
Latest Opinion polls figures - ICM Poll
CON 41%
LAB 26%
UKIP 14%
LD 8%
GRN 4%

What poll shows 31 - 34?
And the 'we are going to be using the same tools as Phillip Hammond' was not a good line to repeat 3 or 4 times.
If you are using those tools, then why bother changing the operator?

Yes I'm not sure that's going to work :kitty:

The Tory Party needs better accountants !

One of our more successful industries? The UK has the second biggest aero-defence industries in the world.
The have it eaten up by the extra-tax required to pay for ending one of our more successful industries and increased taxation to pay for it all.
Since when has Labour understood what Keynes said - it certainly was not borrow in the bad times and borrow again in the Good!
Having got rid of one of our more successful industries that has highly skilled jobs - where from?
Otherwise known as a euphemism for spending money.
Exciting? Saying it is one thing - implementing it is a totally different ballgame
