Jeremy Corbyn pulled no punches as he presented the country with his plan for a Labour government, the most radical proposed since 1983, when the party suffered its worst postwar defeat.

Railways, water supply and broadband infrastructure would be brought into state ownership. The government¡¯s total tax revenue would rise by around 10 percent. That would fund pay rises for public sector workers, free university tuition and free care for the elderly, among a long list of other goodies.

He also had a full list of enemies: ¡°The billionaires and the superrich, the tax dodgers, the bad bosses and the big polluters.¡± These, he said, were the people ¡°who profit from a rigged system.¡±
