This is the message they need to hammer home from now until election day, simple and resonates beyond brexit lines:

Mr Corbyn begins his speech by saying: "The most powerful people in Britain and their supporters are going to tell you that everything in this manifesto is impossible."
He says that's because "they don't want real change".
"Why would they? The system is working just fine for them. It’s rigged in their favour."
"But it's not working for you," he adds.
 
"The Conservatives have repeatedly raised the state pension age despite overseeing a decline in life expectancy," the manifesto says.
"Labour will abandon the Tories’ plans to raise the State Pension Age, leaving it at 66.
"We will review retirement ages for physically arduous and stressful occupations, including shift workers, in the public and private sectors."

Disappointed by the decision to scrap married persons tax allowance after saying there'd be no tax rises for those earning £100k. I've only kept my head above water this year because of that.
 
Binning university tuition fees off - Is that a surprise announcement or has it been labour's position for ages? Wasn't aware that they were committed to that path.

The word science mentioned twice in the manifesto (both times in connection with climate change - zzzzzz) - half as many times as the word football.
