He's as sharp as Theresa



Jeremy Corbyn says convicted terrorists should 'not necessarily' have to serve all of their prison sentence as Boris Johnson vows to keep violent offenders in jail for longer
  • Jeremy Corbyn said release of terrorists from jail 'depends on circumstances'
  • Asked if terrorists should serve full terms Labour leader said 'no, not necessarily'
  • Meanwhile Boris Johnson has vowed to get tougher on terror if he is re-elected
  • PM said terrorists must serve full sentences - and some should never be released
  • Comes after convicted terrorist Usman Khan killed two in London Bridge attack
  • PM said 'probably about 74' people similar to Khan who have been let out early

Mildly interesting because it highlights Corbyn's habits of thought and the difficulty he has in adjusting to political views he does not share. He has his mantras and that is that. Again and again it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the man is simply obtuse.

Also the level of political acumen and a sense of public perception. He already has a reputation as a friend of terrorists. Under the circumstances, you'd hope he would have the sense to just keep quiet; dodge the question, send someone else out to bat, or say something anodyne. He just hasn't got the brains to see it.

Sam - yes that's the odd part, he doesn't even have the sense to keep quiet or dodge the question. Yet he is always dodging questions in other contexts. As if he really does live in a world of his own.
