Carney on Corbyn?

SIR – Now that the Labour Party has set out its economic policies, I am wondering whether Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England, will consider it his duty to advise the British people of the economic consequences of voting Labour at the next general election? Tim Beechey-Newman Caversham, Berkshire SIR – Jeremy Corbyn wants local councils to borrow against their “assets”.

Local councils own no assets. Whatever they have, they manage on behalf of the public. It will be a charge on the council taxpayer (who owns the offices) to pay the interest on the loan. David Barlow Helston, Cornwall SIR – My grandparents were the first generation, in the early decades of the last century, to be able to vote for a party that they felt stuck up for them. My grandfather was a docker and my grandmother was a solderer, so they earned low wages. My parents, a baker and a factory worker, also had no reason to doubt that Labour was the party for them.

In my turn, I voted Labour until 2010, when I didn’t vote, mostly in disgust at all politicians after the expenses scandal. I voted Ukip last year.

I can’t see why I would ever vote Labour again. Mr Corbyn and his acolytes have proposed policies which no thinking person could agree with, and the nastiness and hypocrisy of this man, along with John McDonnell and Diane Abbott, are shameful. The Momentum group is a disgrace.

I think I am far from unusual. Margaret Robinson London SE9
