It doesn't take much to show why @jeremycorbyn shouldn't be Prime Minister. He has remained consistent throughout his career, his own words and actions condemn him.
In 2014 he lamented NATO "did not shut up shop at the end of the cold war, sadly; instead, it cast around for something to do, and has now sought and obtained for itself a global role" just a year after Putin seized Crimea hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2006-0…
Corbyn blames Hamas' popularity on Israel. "Sense of being in an open prison by merely existing in Gaza must be a cause for concern and must drive people into Hamas and other such organisations" hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2006-0…
In Corbyn's world people are driven to terrorism by the West. The West for it's part is always the initiator, never itself responding to events around it. In this sense Palestinians are driven into Hamas but Israelis are never driven into extremes.
Just three weeks after 9/11 Corbyn was already blaming the attack on US policy. "What goes around comes around" he said, speaking of Bin Laden and US policy. hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2001-1…
And of course just a couple of months later he revealed that he thinks "the treatment of the Palestinian people and the need for an active peace process lie at the heart of much of the world's problems, especially in the context of the war on terrorism" hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2001-1…
On 29 Nov 2011 a mob stormed the British embassy in Tehran. Just over a month later, during a debate on Iranian Human Rights, Corbyn raised Iranian nuclear scientists killed & argued US warships were "probably strengthening the regime" hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2012-0…
He also waxed lyrical about the need for dialogue with Iran, this in the wake of the British embassy being overrun by a mob! That same month (Jan 2012) Corbyn claimed to have received up to £5,000 from Iranian state propaganda channel Press TV #justsaying publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmregmem…
Over his more than 30 years in politics @jeremycorbyn has said many stupid, stupid things. We'll be bringing them all to your attention in the coming days.
