It's no more bribery than any other party manifesto promise. All parties make those. All parties try to appeal to certain people. Is it bribery? If you want to be pedantic, I suppose it is, but no more than tax cuts / concessions offered to any other section of society by any other party in a manifesto. Any manifesto is a document full of bribes and treats designed to entice voters, most of which will never happen. To suggest that only Corbyn / Labour have made election promises is ludicrous.

It is not the same as exchanges of money between political parties to secure votes in parliament. I'm convinced that no one really believes that its the same.
