Corbyn would change his tune when in office. As Trump has done with the saudi's.

He has approximately zero chance of implementing all the policies he has offered.

Food banks are not a tory invention there was poverty under labour. Then they led us gloriously into the 2008 crash, causing more poverty than any tory policy. Food banks would have risen regardless of who was in power due to a reduction in the stigma and social media coverage.
When America sneezes, Britain catches a cold. Nobody could have stopped the 2008 crash.

There were 40k people using food banks in 2010, the last year of a Labour government, now there are over 1.4m. I accept there may be some rise but this is beyond stigma and media coverage now. This gov has cut every single public service in real terms, and is callously doing so. They've doubled the national debt since they've been in power and have continued their austerity policies.

As for deriding Abbott and McDonnell as a joke, look at Fox, Boris and Hunt.

Finally, I wonder why nobody is attacking Labour's policies? It might be because not only are they good ideas, they're massive vote winners, whereas the Tories have ridden back on their deeply unpopular policies more times than I can remember. They're a shambles, and they'll still bloody win...
