For me
There is data for the media coverage of Broadband, I was't just giving an opinion. I agree a simpler manifesto, with a few simple messages might have worked better.
WASPI was a good policy don't you think. And a demographic they should have been targeting.

I don't think it's a good policy in terms of fairness, but as pork barrel politics go it's probably a good policy

Apologies, I thought you were defending the policy, not making a statement about its press.
And yes, I liked the WASPI policy. I think it should've been one of the ten pledges along with NHS, Education, Security, Police, Fire Services, Rail Nationalisation, Green investment in infrastructure, and Proportional Representation. That four day week / free broadband / animal welfare revolution etc stuff was too much.

Nah it was shit. As a headline policy. Maybe as a third line thing, sure.

For me the free broadband pledge was the end of Corbyn's Labour as a serious political force. The WASPI women stuff, four day week, green revolution, et al, were just nails in the coffin.
When you took three or four of the policies from the manifesto, they were incredibly popular. That doesn't mean that putting 30 of them in the same manifesto wasn't profoundly damaging for Corbyn's economic credibility.
