Yvette Cooper putting her head above the parapet to basically say Corbyn is old fashioned and I’m a woman so elect me…….thanks for that! — Mark Fitchett
In attacking the economic policies of Jeremy Corbyn, all Yvette Cooper has done is demonstrate her appalling ignorance of economics and why she is not a fit person to lead the Labour Party.
And to plead, elect me because I am a women, is to scrape the bottom of the barrel.
Neo-liberal agenda has failed. It may look fine from a glass tower in Canary Wharf, look to the banks of the Dnistr on the fringes of Empire, where the locals are scraping a living on less than $5 a day.
Austerity is a failure. It transfers money from the poor the the rich. We only have to look to Greece to see the failure of austerity.
Every leading economist has said austerity is not working.
Markets are supposed to self-correct. They do not, as we saw with the banking crisis of 2008.
Quantitative Easing injected £375 billion into the economy. It went into the pockets of bankers and the rich.
We need in the long term to get down the deficit. We do not do it by screwing the poor.
Yvette Copper says Jeremy Corbyn lacks credibility. No, it is Yvette Cooper who lacks credibility.
Yvette Copper says Jeremy Corbyn wants to move backward, ‘old solutions to old problems’. Far from it, Jeremy Corbyn is moving forward with a progressive radical green agenda. He wants to expand renewables, he wants to see participatory democracy, he wishes to see monopolies like rail and electricity brought back into public ownership, he sees a role for open co-ops, collaborative commons.
Yvette Copper abstained on the Tory Welfare Bill, which will take a further £12 billion from the poor.
Yvette Cooper voted against the Iraq War Inquiry.
Yvette Cooper supports a third runaway at Heathow.
