It is a BIG joke cos it will help them lose the next GE!
At the rate they are promising things they won't need a money tree, they will need a money forest.
I'm a bit naive and ill informed - is this what is meant by "Fake News" ?
These Trots do not learn lessons from their previous Blairites do they. Eventually some Labour Grandees admitted that Bliars open door bribe policy was a crass mistake of mega proportions.
Jezza and his Momentum Trots know they have lost the traditional votes ooop North who voted leave so now import gullible foreigners again with unsustainable promises. He has to build several million houses first for those who already live here. Muppets.
Of course it's a joke.

I sincerely wish it was.
Be interesting to see how they sneak that gem into the Labour Party Election manifesto.
To say it is delusional is an understatement. It is bonkers.
Giving non-UK citizens the right to vote is a strange one. Firstly, I don’t see any of them wanting to vote, and secondly, many foreign workers in high earning IT and financial jobs would probably vote Tory.
One thing they don't seem to realise is that if we were to stay in the EU they would never be able to Renationalise ie. trains etc. also do they realise, after saying they will take over private schools, Shami Chackabati Diane Abbott, Lady Nugee, etc, all had there kids in expensive private schools. Bloody hypocrites!

Not only do, at least, Muslim immigrants want to vote, they tend to vote often, encouraged & aided by the radicals among them, the reason? It's part of a policy to spread their Islamic network throughout Europe (& beyond) & it's working.
Try Douglas Murray's, The Strange Death of Europe.
LindaP,

I am fiercely against Nationalising Rail in the UK. But you are wrong that the EU will prevent a Labour Government from doing so. We in the UK are the exception, everyone else has a state railway.

From France to Portugal, Spain to Germany, Italy to Poland, passenger rail is overwhelmingly run by the country's respective version of British Rail. Unlike in the UK, these were never privatised and broken up.

I said non-UK foreign workers tend not to want to work.

I did not say legal immigrants do not vote.

Sorry you are so easily confused.

Confused, moi? ha-ha
I may be wrong but does Nicola sturgeon not think along these lines?
Come one Come all,plenty room ,plenty jobs,plenty houses and schools,no problem with hospitals,
// Unlike in the UK, these were never privatised and broken up. //

true enough. what the EU’s interoperability regulations (2011) do is provide for free access to all comers minded to operate open-access services, including across borders. whilst state railways form the basis of most rail services, they are not alone, the Netherlands and Germany being the best examples. that means the infrastructure controllers can’t run trains, and that’s true in every EU state. Jeremy Corbyn wants British Rail v#2, it can’t happen if the uk remains.
"From France to Portugal, Spain to Germany, Italy to Poland, passenger rail is overwhelmingly run by the country's respective version of British Rail. Unlike in the UK, these were never privatised and broken up."

If only you had included the rest of the article from which you quote, particularly in respect of the upcoming Fourth Rail Package...

//Lady Nugee, etc, all had there kids in expensive private schools. Bloody hypocrites!..//

Just a point of order. I hold no brief for Lady Nugee (aka Emily Thornberry) - quite the reverse in fact, cannot stand the woman - but she did not send her children to expensive private schools. They went to Dame Alice Owen's School (DAOS) in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. DAOS is a partially selective mixed sex secondary state school and sixth form. The Boys' school was founded in 1613 and is one of the oldest schools in the UK. There used to be two separate schools located in Islington, half a mile from Ms Thornberry's home. At that time the schools were direct grant grammar schools. They relocated and amalgamated when the Inner London Education Authority sought to impose "comprehensive" status on them, a process which would have crippled their high standards.

The Islington grammar schools were among the highest achieving grammar schools in England and the amalgamated school is now one of the highest achieving state schools in England & Wales. Why did Ms Thornberry choose the school for her children? She decided that the state schools in her local area were not up to scratch and discovered that Dame Alice Owen's reserves at least 10% of its places for children from Islington (the schools' original dowry was provided to educate Islington's children and on moving the trustees - The Worshipful Company of Brewers - insisted on that provision).

Among the boys' school's most famous former pupils are all the members of Spandau Ballet except Martin Kemp. His older brother Gary attended the school but Martin did not "make the cut"and instead went to Central Foundation School in Clerkenwell. The embryo Spandau Ballet was formed whilst its four Owenians were still pupils at the school. Gary Kemp was the Patron of the school's 400th Anniversary Celebrations in 2013 and a thanksgiving concert was held at the Royal Albert Hall.

How do I know all this and why am I interested? Because Dame Alice Owen's Boys' school is my Alma Mater. I attended the Islington school for seven years. Once an Owenian, always an Owenian and I shall always take a keen interest in its affairs (even when it involves the ghastly Lady Nugee!).
Khandro - If Labour seriously thought they could win an election, they would accept Mr Johnson's offer of one - but of course, they know they have no chance.

This presents them with the wonderful freedom of being as fanciful as they like with policies they know they will never have to implement.
well you can promise anything when you know you'll never be in a position to have to implement.
