'Deal or No Deal'

'Deal or No Deal'; but it is not a TV reality show even if you hold hands with Donald Trump. Britain will leave the EU, but who will secure the 'Best Deal'? Theresa May sacked 20,000 Police, to be replaced by a 'Commission for Countering Extremism'. Despite Security Service warnings, 'No Deal' takes us out of Europol, ditches the European Arrest Warrant, and quits Euratom which ensures the security and safety of nuclear reactors and uranium fuel. In contrast Labour will recruit 10,000 police, 3,000 firefighters, 3,000 prison officers, 1,000 security and intelligence agency staff and 500 more border guards.
Rising inflation, devaluation, zero hours contracts, 18% fall in car production, national debt soaring to 89% of GDP, are just a foretaste of what is to come under more Tory Austerity. If we are to remain a trading and exporting nation we must retain access to the EU's Single Market, the largest Free Trade Area in the World which takes 44% of our exports. The hardest hit will be small businesses, costs will rise, and export markets will be lost – and the Government's response was to whallop British entrepreneurs with a huge rise in National Insurance, whilst giving away billions in Corporation Tax Cuts to multi-nationals. The Tories have never understood that our wealth comes from designing and manufacturing quality goods for sale and export; not rents, dividends or from 'managing money'. The end result is that Tory Economics have left nothing to maintain the NHS, our schools, police or care for older people unless they pay the Dementia Tax.
If you want a secure Britain cooperating with our Allies, offering decent education to our young people with grants not debt, skilled and well paid jobs, export led growth with access to the Single Market, dignity in old age, and an NHS to be proud of you can only choose Labour. This election is not about Brexit it is about our future, and the sort of country that we bequeath to our children.
