Now Tories must rally against the Corbyn fantasy

-

The Conservati­ve Party Conference this week needs to counter the perceived advances that Labour are enjoying after their own conference.

Labour feel they are on the front foot and I believe that the unions will ferment a winter of discontent with strikes in an attempt to force an early General Election.

What emerged from the Labour conference was fantasy.

It seems no coincidenc­e that TV’s autumn schedules have brought together three programmes that have a common thread running through them. Doctor Foster, Liar and the Labour Party Conference have all been highly entertaini­ng for various reasons, but all three have required that you suspend reality.

Gerry Doyle, Liverpool Jeremy Corbyn’s alternativ­e to capitalism was tried throughout the Soviet Bloc over many years.

There, instead of the people deciding on what things were worth, the state regime did.

The only way they could enforce those monetary values was to banish all alternativ­es so that everything was eventually produced by the state sector and it didn’t matter which food, clothes or shoe shop you went into, each sold the same state produced goods. Under capitalism we decide what we buy at a price we consider acceptable. Such bartering has put us in charge, not politician­s! Brian Christley, Abergele, North Wales Studies indicate that the political centre has shifted towards the Left, a trajectory that looks set to continue. Jeremy Corbyn is at the forefront of this movement.

He and Labour have attracted Remainers and Leavers, Left and Right, rich and poor and the young and old.

Corbyn is becoming more popular at the same time as the Conservati­ve Party is sinking, with many Tories deeply concerned about the party’s survival. Name and address supplied The deafening message coming out of Labour’s conference in Brighton was to ‘spend, spend, spend’ if it wins the next Election.

Any fool can spend other people’s money as if there were no tomorrow. I fear that our children and grandchild­ren would be saddled for years with the crippling debt associated with unaffordab­le Labour promises if they ever come to power. Ann Roberts, Headingley, Leeds
