Quote IR80="IR80"Recession would be a given with Corbyn anywhere near power, that is for sure.'"
He's not at the helm currently and we're getting pretty close !
I think that Corbyn would actually help spark the ecconomy. The problem would that the growth would come from substantial borrowing, which isn't sustainable.
Labour has always borrowed heavily to fund public services etc and Corbyn does have some rather grand plans on re-nationalisation etc.
Of course, these companies would become "assets of the state" but, as usual, borrowing is always likely to cause problems eventually.
The Tories borrowed heavily when they took a stake in the banks, so it's not an exclusively left wing process but, Labour do have a habit of spending rather than paying down debt.
The balance is somewhere between Corbyn's aspirations and the current Tory austerity, something which has caused massive social issues.
Mental health and crime are out of control but, Boris wants tax cuts for his "mates" or, more accurately, for Tory party members, who may just vote him in as Prime Minister
Not too many people like Hunt, especially in the NHS but, he's somewhat more level headed than the PM elect, who, as Bren mentioned previously, could have the shortest time at no 10. It looks nailed on that he will break the record for the shortest term in office by a Conservative.
