Here’s Labour’s 2019 Manifesto … Download … …

So this is Christmas
So it’s a winter election! Will it work for Labour?
The polls are both volatile and have statistically biased methodologies. Some are suggesting a close election with Labour as the single largest party, others have the Tories with a large majority and Labour losing many seats. The good news is that John Curtice is in the former group.
I now await the manifesto. …
