Not denying it Anna, whats Labour's plan to reverse it or stem the tide?

Feel free to cost it and then say how much will be left to provide the service

This information is easily accessible on their web site,  and has been made clear by Jeremy Corbyn who has spelled it out clearly on several occasions, (but not had media coverage.)  But in brief they intend to end austerity, which was always a choice for the Tory party, but unlike the Tory party, they will actually do it, (not just talk about it,) and reverse many of the changes that have been foisted on the most vulnerable in society.  It will be paid for by  taxing the super rich and corporations (also claimed by the Tory party, but not done,) and by founding National banks using quantatitive easing for the people. They also intend to invest in services, infrastructure, research and development, and proper jobs to get the economy moving again.

 

For a fuller picture please read their fully costed manifesto, and remember that the only things you will see in the media will be detrimental to the Labour party, its politicians and its image, or nothing at all.

Costed by massive and completely unsustainable borrowing.  

 

Total bill is about £1 trillion I believe..

But Labour isn’t planning on just reversing Tory cuts are they. They want to nationalise water, and rail and energy etc etc. Despite what McDonnell claims, that will cost money..

It'll cost money to buy them. Then a bottomless pit to support them, that needs taxpayer funding.

Indeed. Water infrastructure alone has had £150 billion in investment by companies since privatisation.

Can you give a bit of detail how that works specifically for each of the utilities?

No I can't, I'm not a financial expert, but I've listened to John MacDonald on the subject and he seems to have got it sussed. You'll have to listen to some of his interviews and speeches.
