The exit poll is out, and it looks like a hung parliament. Against the predictions of many commentators, it looks plausible that, tomorrow, Jeremy Corbyn could be moving into Downing Street.
So, the question arises – what exactly are his policies? Here are some highlights.
Labour’s manifesto promises to…
Scrap tuition fees;
Re-introduce the 50p tax rate on those earning over £123,000 a year;
Introduce a tax rate of 45p in the pound on incomes of £80,000 and over;
Raising corporation tax to 26 per cent;
Guarantee the triple lock for pensioner incomes;
Nationalise the railways;
End zero hour contracts;
Bring the water industry back into public ownership;
Reverse the privatisation of Royal Mail;
Accepting the Brexit referendum result, but retaining the benefits of the single market and customs union;
Investing to build 1m new homes, including 100 social homes, by the end of the next parliament.
Scrapping the bedroom tax.
