A victory for Jeremy Corbyn on 12 December would be nothing short of catastroph­ic for the United Kingdom.

Behind Mr Corbyn’s seemingly mild and plausible exterior lies an ideologica­l ambition to take our country back to the dark days of the far Left and further with a plan for big government, wholesale nationalis­m, anti-business policies and hand-outs at every turn.

And the cost? A cool £89 billion that Mr Corbyn expects to come from the commercial enterprise­s that he wants to suppress – how prepostero­us!

Does he not realise that additional tax burdens will be passed on to employees in lower wages and customers in higher prices, so in effect, all of us?

Therefore such burdens would have disastrous effects on our wider economy, which is already teetering on the edge of recession.

Any clear thinker knows that this strategy is fatally flawed and can’t possibly work but will in fact lead the country to the brink of bankruptcy.

Let all of us get real, see the reality of Labour’s ridiculous and crippling programme and block Mr Corbyn’s crusade to No 10 by voting sensibly on the 12th.
