Labour would destroy Britain as a functioning free society

He may have been Leader of the Opposition since 2015 and fought a general election but there has still been little detailed scrutiny of what a Corbyn government would be like. We have - quite rightly - heard lots about his disgusting support for the IRA, his embrace of terrorists as "friends" and his chairmanship of Stop The War - an organisation dedicated to supporting the enemies of theWest. You would have to have lived in a cave not to be aware that Labour has been engulfed in an anti-Semitism crisis and that even Labour MPs such as Dame Margaret Hodge openly label Mr Corbyn himself as an anti-Semite.

But how many of us are aware of the detailed policies that Labour would implement? Policies that would be ruinous - and would undo all the good work done in the years since Baroness Thatcher turned the country round in the 1980s.

It is time that Labour was scrutinised not simply for the character and views of its leader and those around him, but for the specific policies they want to introduce.

Last week, for example, Labour's shadow education secretary, Angela Rayner - who is tipped by many as a possible successor to Mr Corbyn - announced that a Labour government would abolish primary school SATs. If she took power, she would scrap the maths and English tests taken by seven and 11-year-old pupils.

When SATs were introduced in 1991, parents had no objective evidence to determine how their children were doing or how schools were doing. All they had was guff - the constant mantra from the education establishment that standards were rising and everything was wonderful.

Except they weren't and it wasn't. It was only when test results could be measured independently that we could get a grip on which schools were failing and what the real story was.

But the teaching unions, dominated by the Lefty ideologues who ruined state education before they were taken on and defeated, have always hated SATs. No surprise, therefore, that Labour has pledged to scrap them.
