With interest rates what they are, shares are the best way to invest your savings. Many of the "safe" options are of former nationalised industries such as BP, National Grid, SSE, BT, RM and many more. They also play a critical role in growing your pension funds. Is Corbyn planning to take that avenue away through privatisation? To create a situation where there is simply no point in having any money as it will just decrease in value. Perhaps that is how he intends to fund his vision: by getting us to spend every penny we have so he can tax that and piss away the proceeds. Then when there are more people retiring without any investments he'll have to swap "reasonable management of migration" to "open the floodgates" to pay for them.
