WOW! Not so much a leak but a torrent of left wing ideals set to get the political elite slathering over the details of Labour’s manifesto.

Who could deny the Great British public the windfall of this extraordinary set of policies from Corbyn’s dream factory should they be elected. 

Re-nationalising railways, four new bank holidays, six billion investment in the NHS. £10 an hour minimum wage, returning some of the utilities to public ownership, the ending of zero hours contracts: I could go on: wait a minute! 

Nowhere in this wish list is any indication as to where the funding of such a radical itinerary is to be raised.

However laudable these desires are, no-one; least of all the Labour Party; know what our financial situation will look like after Brexit and given their handling of fiscal matters when last in power it is unlikely that they will have enough cash left to purchase the paper to message the incoming chancellor that there is, no money left.

The phrase; beware of Greeks bearing gifts; springs to mind.
