Putrid party

JEREMY Corbyn’s car crash of a campaign launch exposed Labour as a dangerous and malevolent party hoping to sneak into power on a wave of hatred and envy.

His proposition to voters is both threadbare and ugly.

Predictably, Corbyn wheeled out his hoary old lie about the Tories “selling the NHS” to Donald Trump. It hasn’t worked before, but what else has he got?

He even got his cult to chant “not for sale” — which indeed it isn’t under the Tories, as Trump himself has ­confirmed.

Labour’s tired, desperate leader then decided there was mileage in stoking hate against billionaire job-creators. He genuinely believes floating voters will be attracted to a man who, as his first act in No10, would use the State to settle the hard-Left’s grudges from the 1970s.

And there’s a fatal flaw too in his war on the wealthy: the top one per cent of earners already pay 28 per cent of income tax and would flee Corbyn’s Britain with that vital revenue overnight.

But it got worse. Corbyn views politics like a teenager: as a binary battle between good and evil. But his own claim to the moral high ground is shot.

Labour is infested with racists, drawn by his personal anti-Semitism. Jews fear him. The Jewish Labour Movement won’t campaign for him. A top rabbi calls Corbyn “a danger to Jewish life”. Jewish Labour MPs have quit.

Labour is a racist party, only the second probed by the Equality and Human Rights Commission after the BNP.

Still legitimising it are its cowardly “moderates” — gutless MPs who virtue-signal their opposition to racism on Twitter but now campaign to make the anti-Semite-in-chief Prime Minister.

Never have we seen a political offering more pitiful or morally repugnant.

Leave it out

CORBYN’S ludicrous Brexit stance insults everyone’s intelligence.

First he pretends our failure to leave the EU yesterday was Boris Johnson’s fault. In fact it was entirely down to Remainers led by HIM. And we now know how Corbyn would “sort” Brexit:

By “negotiating” a new Leave deal which is Remain in all but name and pitching that against fully Remaining in a divisive, rigged second referendum.

What an enticing offer to Leavers — or anyone wanting democracy to prevail.

Power of PM

AMONG other failings, Theresa May offered working people virtually nothing in 2017. Boris won’t make that mistake.

Today he will unveil a package worth billions to Leave-voting towns badly needing investment. It’s about time.

But another crucial dividing line exists between Boris and May: Positivity and belief, the same qualities that won the EU round to his new deal.

What a relief from Corbyn’s bitterness.
