    So when answering a question shouldn't he quote the precise figure? Or maybe he should just continue muttering Strong & Stable for half an hour

    Separately, the maybot 3000 has changed tack dramatically and is now focussing on Brexit.

    From my experience, Chief Executives don't know much about widgets and they don't have to.

    I reckon a CEO would have the expected return on a new product or market to hand, whether they knew the technical aspects of the widget or not

    Yes I agree, but the interviewer was asking for the precise specification, which Corbyn wanted to answer accurately.

    I don't really care about it.

    What I found more interesting was his excuse that this manifesto was pulled together in 2 weeks as the election wasnt planned for.

    It is supposedly all costed, water tight, how long until that unravels?.

    Re: Child care costs

    does it really matter how much it costs ? ? ? 5 , 6 , 9 or 10 billion

    It'll just all add to the countries debt

    then we will run out of money again and the Tories will get back in to make cuts and try and balance the books

    so the cycle continues

    Re: Child care costs

    If Diane Abbott was a ten with what I think was the worst (or funniest) attempt I've ever seen from a politician seriously trying to answer a question during an election campaign and Phillip Hammond was an eight for his launching into Jeremy Corbyn after being read something that had been said by Boris Johnson, I'd rate this a five or a six. At least Corbyn didn't go down the route of pick a number and hope that the Shadow Home Secretary tried (nine or ten times from memory ), but it's not good from someone who is trying to persuade people he can run the country - with the Tories going into full Brexit mode apparently (an area where they can trade in slogans which probably won't do them much harm), Labour cannot afford to look sloppy on subjects which are supposed to be a strength of theirs.

    I heard debt in the UK is at it highest since the 60's, is that right?

    National debt will always rise whilst there is a deficit. This was always expected. Perhaps you can explain why you think national debt should have decreased whilst there was a deficit?

    There are other measures of economic performance such as interest rates, inflation, gdp/capita, and so on. Deficit and Debt aren't the only measures available.

    I was answering someone who made a certain claim (which we now learn was a pun and also a trap I fell into as one of his stalkers - I think I've replied to about three of his messages in the nearly twenty years I've been posting on here), no more than that.

    However, seeing as you asked a question, I'll reply by saying that, while I'm no financier, if I inherited a debt and made a public promise that I would clear it within five years, but then failed to do so and, more than that, had not cleared it two years later, I think I know what sort of response I'd get if I said how can you expect me to pay off a debt when I owe you all this money.

    It was always a tall ask given the number of variables. Maybe they've learnt their lesson and aren't going to be so bombastic in future. Probably not as they all promise jam tomorrow

    Re: Child care costs

    Angela Rayner gave a good interview this morning on the Today programme and I thought, I bet we'll hear nothing of it at all.

    Later on I listened to Corbyns interview with Emma Barnett and the first thing I thought was, the BBC will be all over this. Sure enough it's been on every news bulletin I've heard today on R4, 5Live and even 6music ffs!

    I don't recall a single mention on the BBC of Hammonds mistake of the cost of HS2 the other week, or Fallons embarrassment from last week.

    Re: Child care costs

    Tories won't have this issue because the costings for their figures haven't been given....

    The story of today seems that it Corbyn won the debates last night (May has been banging on for weeks about it being her or Corbyn before Europe and was at best equal to Corbyn in front of an audience and Paxman) but has come a little unstuck by Women's Hour and Mumsnet -this surely the sign that Paxman will retire - before appearing far more human than May did on The One Show. May on the other hand went back to Brexit however faced damning criticism from the ex-Tory chancellor come newspaper editor about her being incredibly weak on this matter. Germany laughed at May and didn't mention Corbyn much at all.
