SOFT ON TERROR

Labour are desperately trying to turn an Islamist terror attack into a political point scoring exercise against the government.  Laughably the party of terror is trying to somehow suggest that it would never have happened with them at the helm.  Yet only this morning Jeremy Corbyn told Sky's Sophy Ridge that he didn't believe terrorists should serve a full prison term.

Yvette Cooper also tried to make capital out of Usman Khan's deadly rampage, but was publicly humiliated by the Home Secretary on Twitter.

Because legislation brought in by your government in 2008 meant that dangerous terrorists had to automatically be released after half of their jail term. Conservatives changed the law in 2012 to end your automatic release policy but Khan was convicted before this. https://t.co/8fCm880MSK

Priti Patel also lashed out at Corbyn himself.

The Parole Board could not be involved in this decision @jeremycorbyn. Your party changed the law in 2008 so that Khan was automatically released irrespective of the danger he posed. Very concerning that you want to be PM but don’t understand this.https://t.co/uqUBggmEbg

The truth remains that with Corbyn in Number Ten the terrorist threat would go through the roof.  He would undermine our intelligence services, cut back our armed deterrent, tie the hands of the police and weaken an already limp-wristed judicial system.  Not to mention he would open up our borders allowing the fifth column to grow exponentially!
