Re: Old Compo Corbyn Pawned By May in PMQs
Whereas
The Guardian had this:
"Corbyn is back on form. Eschewing Brexit, which despite being the story of the day isn’t a topic where he’s been comfortable at PMQs, he devoted all six of his questions to housing and notched up a convincing win with a series of solid, awkward questions. He was at his best at the beginning, with the challenge to May about whether she could commit to reducing homelessness next year, and in his final question, with a powerful clip about the Tories being in the pocket of landlords and developers. It was also a PMQs that saw Corbyn several times defending the record of the last Labour government. May pushed back with a plethora of statistics about Labour’s record on housing, but criticising Labour for not building houses during a recess is a tenuous line of attack and, although May had an intellectual response to Corbyn, she did not have an emotional one. Housing is an increasing problem for more and more people, and they expect the prime minister to show that she gets this. Faced with questions on a topic like this, David Cameron would have exuded some sympathy. May doesn’t have that emotional range, and it’s a weakness."
Beauty is clearly in the eye of the beholder or, in the case of the Speccie, the True Believer.
