Yes, Corbyn hates Britain so much that, goodness me, he was prepared to suggest that we should change to emulate the work practices and lack of worker protection of an authoritarian, non-democratic, Communist/state-capitalist country. That he has actually been prepared to involve that country in our nuclear power industry. That he has been prepared to engage in deals with a hardline Islamist country which holds one of the world's worst records on human rights, and was the breeding-ground for most of the 9-11 terrorists....


Oops, I'm not quite sure that all this was actually Corbyn...

Summary

Jeremy Hunt, the health secretary, has said British people will learn how to work as hard as the Chinese and Americans because the Conservatives have cut the money people can make from tax credits. As Rowena Mason reports, speaking at a fringe meeting at the Conservative party conference, Hunt strayed from his brief to defend the government’s tax credit cuts of up to £1,300 for some of the poorest workers in the UK. Hunt told his audience that reducing tax credits was not just about saving money, and when asked whether the pace of the cuts should be slowed, he said: “No. We have to proceed with these tax-credit changes because they are a very important cultural signal. My wife is Chinese. We want this to be one of the most successful countries in the world in 20, 30, 40 years’ time. There’s a pretty difficult question that we have to answer, which is essentially: are we going to be a country which is prepared to work hard in the way that Asian economies are prepared to work hard, in the way that Americans are prepared to work hard? And that is about creating a culture where work is at the heart of our success.”

David Cameron has repeatedly refused to explain why the British government agreed to a “squalid” deal with Saudi Arabia, as the country prepares to behead and crucify a teenager for engaging in pro-democracy protests during the Arab Spring.

In an excruciating interview with Channel 4’s Jon Snow, the Prime Minister floundered for a response when questioned on the recently exposed secret deal with the Saudis to allow both nations’ election to the UN Human Rights Council in 2013.

“This sounds a bit squalid for one of the most human rights abusing regimes on earth,” Mr Snow comments....

Finally, the Conservative leader claimed it was because the British government has “a relationship with Saudi Arabia"

1. Is the PM telling porkies, then?

Oh, that was probably insensitive to his former lover. Sorry!

2. Moderate rhetoric, hard right policies

That seems to be the current formula. Targeting moderate Labour folk unhappy about the rise of Corbyn.

This approach might have it's dishonest moments, but from what I can see on tw@tter, it does seem to be quite attractive to a lot of old Blair supporters.
