Jeremy Corbyn and his Marxist lot have set about making firms the enemy in their outlandish election promises – The Sun

Labour's lazy ill-thought out policies will only promise to cast more on the dole and tank the economy completely

WE never thought Ed Milibands sums added up. At least hed done some.

Jeremy Corbyn and his Marxist mob arent even bothering with the maths as they churn out ever more outlandish promises in a panic at voters abandoning their sinking ship.

So now its bumper pay rises, more national holidays and all our problems magically solved.

Twelve pledges and just one means of funding them all: a massive hike in corporation tax.

Like all old Trots, Corbyn considers private firms predatory profiteers keeping staff in wage slavery.

But low corporation tax creates investment.

It means jobs for ordinary people, mortgages paid, families fed.

It is part of the Tories incredible success in slashing unemployment and getting record numbers into work.

A dramatic increase would cast huge numbers on the dole, shrink the tax base, tank the economy and wreck services.

Corbyn has no grasp of this. But then as recently as 2013 he was hailing the triumph of socialism in oil-rich Venezuela.

Now its people are starving to death.

We doubt Labour will talk up Venezuela now. But who knows? Their idiocy is without limit.

THERE must be an amnesty for soldiers who served in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.

The Defence Select Committee has called for it and we couldnt agree more.

It is appalling that veterans are at risk of long jail terms for alleged crimes while keeping the peace decades ago while terrorist murderers get off scot-free or face trifling sentences.

One, IRA Hyde Park massacre suspect John Downey, dodged justice after a blunder by the last Labour Government and we are proud to back the campaign to prosecute him.

The Government must know from the disastrous IHAT Iraq inquiry what a can of worms a police witch-hunt into veterans of the Troubles will become.

It will heap misery on ageing servicemen who deserve to be remembered for their bravery in hellish circumstances.

Theresa May must put a stop to it.

THE Tories would be mad even to consider sidelining Boris Johnson during the election campaign.

OK, hes not flavour of the month with diehard Remainers still unable to process their shock defeat last June.

So what? Hes still the second most popular politician in Britain after Theresa May much more so than those colleagues apparently briefing against him.

Boriss charm and oratory helped secure Brexit. Alongside the PM he is one of the chief attractions for millions now considering voting Tory for the first time.
