She's always been too stupid to pretend to be a politician and in a seat so safe a donkey could win if it had the right rosette stuck on its ass.

This is by far the first time she's been caught out.

The UK has a huge problem. If the numbers of people relying on the State aren't reduced, the tax rises needed in all sectors of the country will be devastating. At the moment the UK is borrowing 13% more than it raises in taxes. The rich won't pay that difference no matter what Corbyn promises. Forcing them to would lead to an exodus of businesses and medium to high people. It would most certainly stop companies investing in the UK.

Labour's manifesto relies on rises in borrowing. Should their spending plans cost more and their taxation plans fail to collect what they think they will. They will have to borrow more, which will push up the interest rate. Which will mean more borrowing.

As for fighting terror, Corbyn has always believed he can talk his way to peace. He should go to the ME and see how far talking gets him.

Regarding Brexit. Labour have laid down a lot of demands they will make on the EU. What if the EU says no or comes back with demands of their own? Or does he believe he can talk them into submission?
