The Social Maxim: Defending The Labour Party & Jeremy Corbyn on the Doorstep

This Blog post will be updated with new information on an ongoing basis, right up until the General Election, keep checking back for updates. Feel free to take any of this data and share widely. This has been rushed to publication due to the imminent Election, please let us know if there are any problems with links etc.

ECONOMICS

The Tories are economically more competent myth:

"First Labour invariably borrows less than the Conservatives. The data always shows that.

And second, Labour has always repaid debt more often than the Conservatives, and has always repaid more debt, on average.

Or, to put it another way, the Conservatives are the party of high UK borrowing and low debt repayment contrary to all popular belief, including that of most radio presenters. Which means that the next time I am presented with that nonsense I will be very firmly rebutting it."

POLLS

There is no evidence for Corbyn being unellectable, he has never lost an election he personally stood in. Polls generally used to demonstrate this diatribe are often heavily biased, for example:

The largest public sample we have so far in any poll 165.4k+ and still open at the time of writing shows Corbyn 68% May 19%. This Poll is run by ITV. Main stream media and open to all so less chance of bias.
