• United Kingdom: Corbyn declares its "neutrality" before Brexit
  • Elections 12 D.Boris Johnson moves towards the absolute majority and anticipates Brexit as a "Christmas gift"

15 days after the most important general elections in the recent history of the United Kingdom, Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labor Party, who should lead the response to the more than likely victory of Boris Johnson, is still lost. Tangled up in an economic proposal that practically no one sees plausible and unable to apologize for the anti-Semitism virus that has taken root in its formation, its great announcement for the National Health System, which should define the future of the key piece of these elections, there have been 451 pages in which it is found that in 2017 the Executive of Theresa May negotiated with Washington the inclusion of the sector within the potential trade agreement with the United States after Brexit.

The complaint has surprised in the United Kingdom not so much for the content of the document, which is still being reviewed, but for the fact that it arrives two and a half years later and at a time when neither of the two great representatives of it ( Former International Trade Minister Liam Fox and former Prime Minister Theresa May) remain in the Executive.

Johnson, who surely knew of his rival's strategy, tweeted an answer this morning just an hour before the Labor announcement: " Our National Health System will not be on the negotiating table in any trade agreement. We will protect and strengthen the NHS with more investment and with an Australian-style point immigration system. "

The Tory leader did not even have to exhaust the 280 characters offered by the social network to dismantle the great argument of the day against him, and that is, despite the poor confidence that inspires the premier, the credibility granted to the Corbyn's speech decreases day by day among the British electorate. According to a recent YouGov survey for The Times, barely 17% of respondents believe that the Labor Party's plans to increase public spending by 96,000 million euros are economically viable, while a similar figure, 18%, He thinks they are realistic.

Unable to give a clear stance on his vision of the exit from the European Union, Corbyn does not seem to have succeeded in convincing voters that he is serious about the one he defends that it is the largest program of wealth distribution and investment in the public sector seen to date in British politics. Among its proposals to finance it are to raise taxes on those who charge more than 94,000 euros per year, which would report 6,320 million, and, above all, to large foreign companies and companies such as Google or Facebook, which would mean 17,680 million more.

All this, and despite the great echo that have had proposals with little credibility according to the survey for The Times, contrasts with a much less extensive conservative program and, for four out of ten British respondents, more plausibly funded. Even so, only two out of ten believe that Johnson's promise to hire 50,000 new nurses in the next five years, one of the program's flags, will be fulfilled.

Corbyn does not apologize for anti-Semitism

A general distrust of British politicians that is aggravated by cases such as anti-Semitism that has been established within the Labor Party and that only grow when their leaders, like Corbyn himself, refuse to recognize them. The veteran politician was shipwrecked yesterday in his interview with the BBC after discrediting Ephraim Mirvis, the leader of the British rabbis, who had said that same day in The Times that it was "a liar fiction" to say that Labor had investigated each and every one of the cases that had occurred.

Up to four times, Corbyn refused to apologize, saying he "wanted to speak" personally with him to know "why he had said such a thing." Of course, both today and yesterday the Labor leader has ensured that "society is safe for people of all faiths", adding that racism is "a poison" that wants to "eliminate working with each community." "That is what I have tried all my life," he defended during the interview.
