Some other policies:

-100k extra council houses a year
- Eradicate food banks in 3 years

The low income workers should be all over labour.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The low income workers who are going to have their low pay cut by at least 20%???
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why will they?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This 4 day working week, will they be getting 5 days pay for it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Your wage just doesn't drop 20%.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So how does it work?

Microsoft in Japan trialled a 4 day work week and their sales increased by 40 percent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This aint Japan, and nothing is free, including broadband. Someone has to pay for it, its not thin air.

You earn more, you keep more. You earned it, fkin keep it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not according to the parasites. If you earn more, someone else deserves it more than you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This dosent make sense. Labour are proposing small increase in tax to help fund free child care, broadband and NHS.

Everyone in the country benefits.

What’s the problem with this?

“ They would happily move away if he got into power. Then where exactly is the money coming from?”

Where are they going to move to? Corporation tax in this country is currently lower than France, Germany, China, even the fecking USA! And that’s forgetting a lot of it is being avoided/evaded by the big players. Almost 1 in 5 big corporations paid nothing in UK corporation tax in 2018.

It’s not that if we squeeze them a bit they will move abroad. It’s that they are totally taking the pizz out of us at the moment.

I bet there were a few saying that when statutory holiday allowance was introduced, or when they said kids weren’t allowed to work in the mills any more

They would have two options, go somewhere that would happily incentivise them with tax breaks or have their lawyers who are far smarter than the government's devise methods of avoiding the tax.

Does anyone think any government likes to have large corporations dance around them and contribute low tax receipts? They suffer it as the alternative is less investment in the country.

Absolutely no way Corbyn could achieve anywhere near the tax income he would need to fund his policies.

Ireland, due to it's location, would be favourite but also Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Holland, Japan, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Canada to name a few.

And how did Germany (15%) and the US (21%) get in your list?

I know I would rather not lose a portion of pay. You’re delusional if you think ANY company is willing to let an employee have an extra day off and still pay for that missing day...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why not? Increased productivity would pay for it.

It's like talking to children. Why not just work a 1 day week?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Any time a government intervenes to control a product or service, there will be an inevitable shortage/availability to the general public.

You’re already seeing shortages in the NHS. The broadband proposal will result in internet issues. Childcare? How? Providing a stipend to people with kids or will the government oversee child care services? What about staffing?

This is why privatization is always better option. It may not be perfect at times, but it’s always going to be better than government controlled.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you remember when Energy companies were privatised and how we were promised low bills? That never happened and if you think privatising the NHS is a solution as they are struggling I would point you to the underinvestment this Gov has deliberately made in the name of austerity. They've given tax breaks to the rich, created more billionaires than ever whilst our genuine disabled are literally dying due to benefit cuts. Privatise the NHS and we'll end up like USA making choices like staying alive but losing the family home.

Your forgetting Germany has solidarity sub charge and trade tax on top of that. In total it’s closer to 30 percent.

Sorry but you've got a long way to go to convince me that people working just 4 days are going to produce as much as people working 5.
