Then again Cameron is kinda screwed here, because his ‘austerity’ and ‘big society’ policies, which have seen a 40% cut in county council budgets with another 40% scheduled by 2020, (that’s £2 to spend on the aged, disabled, sick and needy where there used to be £10). Where our councils are battling with our NHS over who should fund those in need because of funding cuts and unrealistic targets. All of which has left our social infrastructure totally unable to deal with a further influx of people demanding services and jobs…

But hey..this is the Prime Minister who promotes the guy who claims for moat cleaning on his (tax payer paid) expenses to the House of Lords (on a £300 a day plus expenses wage).

For every stupid or unsavoury thing that you can dredge up damning Corbyn, I can double with Cameron and his cronies, when you ask about his policies, I can point you to lack of policy and broken pledges from this government…unfortunately I don’t have the readership of the Tory loving media
Quite right, and if Corbin is elected Labour leader, Cameron and his cronies are going to have the freedom to carry right on with their "lack of policy and broken pledges", for at least the next ten years because there's no way Labour are going to achieve power in 2020 with Corbin at the helm. By 2025, it'll probably be too late anyway, the NHS and the welfare state will have been largely dismantled and there'll be very little left to save. The Labour party really needs to wake up and smell the coffee by coming up with a potential leader who's electable. Alan Johnson would be my choice, but if doesn't want to, who knows?
