Shadow chancellor John McDonnell was on the campaign trail in a visit to Gravesend earlier this month in which he pledged investment in communications and energy, echoing the sentiments of Mr Corbyn who suggested a £30bn package would be available for the south east if he won the keys to Number 10 when he visited Ramsgate at the end of past year.
"Primarily, it's about getting and retaining tariff-free access to the European market".
"The conservatives can always find money to go and bomb Libya or Syria or whichever other country in the Middle East that they happen to be attacking".
That was 1983 during the Margaret Thatcher era, and it's deja-vu for the Labour Party more than three decades later under another Conservative premier, Theresa May.
But the Labour leader said he did not regard the SNP as progressive.
Meanwhile, Mrs May sought to put "strong and stable" leadership at the heart of her pitch to voters as she addressed supporters in Bolton on Wednesday. The Conservatives now hold 330 of the 650 seats.
Lucas said: "Britain is at a crossroads - and this election will dictate the very future of our country".
"On June 8 every vote is going to count".
She said Brexit only highlighted deeper ideological differences between the anti-globalisation, pro-Brexit working class bloc and the pro-EU, pro-immigration urban voters. Further, an ideological schism has long festered between the staunchly left-wing Mr Corbyn and a rival section of the Labour leadership, which is more centrist.
In his speech, Mr Corbyn promised to put wealth "in the hands of the people of Britain" as he turned his fire on big business and the rich.

Explaining her stance, Mrs May said: "I believe in campaigns where politicians actually get out and about and meet with voters". Liberal Democrat leader Farron said that broadcasters should hold debates anyway, with an empty chair in May's place.
Mr Corbyn will say: "It's a rigged system set up by the wealth extractors for the wealth extractors".
A "morally bankrupt" Conservative Party was intent on preserving the system while cutting public services and blaming migrants and the unemployed for the woes of the economy, he said.
Controversial business figures like Sir Philip Green, Mike Ashley, Southern Rail and the chief executives of tax-dodging multinationals should be anxious about the prospect of a Labour victory, he will say.
A comment piece by the party's sole MP, Caroline Lucas, and co-leader Jonathan Bartley said: "We understand that, in the immediate run-up to an election, signalling a willingness to work with other parties might be hard but we hope you'll agree that the times we are living in require leaders to be courageous and visionary, to actively build a more positive politics".

Highlighting policies which will be at the heart of the party's manifesto, Mr Corbyn said: "I want a Labour government that builds council housing", he said.
But he added: "I can't countenance endorsing him for a role which I think even he, though he may say differently in front of the cameras, does not think he is fit to carry out". I have seen first-hand how these choices have affected the people of Edmonton and a Labour Government, with Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister, will represent real change.
So trust versus leadership looks to be the two defining issues Labour and the Conservatives will take to the British people between now and June 8.
The Tories have 48 per cent, followed by the Labour Party with 24 percent, The Times reported, citing YouGov poll data.
The rank-and-file of the membership base strongly supports Mr Corbyn.
