finally got around to skimming the Tory dossier on Labour’s “£1.2 trillion” of extra spending and it’s either

1) very much a worst-case scenario if you extrapolate everything ever said almost to stretching point

2) nonsense

depending on your perspective
for example the dossier days that a 32-hour working week would cost £85bn....

But as Labour made clear at the time, the 32-hour plan is a flaky aspiration rather than something that would be compulsory for either public or private sector...

Also dossier suggests Labour will nationalise Big Six energy firms for £124bn.

1) the idea was voted through autumn conference but isn’t party policy yet....wait to see if it’s in the manifesto.

2) McDonnell nationalisations are (controversially) not usually at market price
