THE SUN SAYS

Jeremy Corbyn isn’t fit to stand to for the leadership of his allotment committee let alone the country

The failure from the Labour leader to give a straight answer to a hypothetical question on ISIS is beyond buffoonery

TRYING to satirise Jeremy Corbyn is almost an impossible job, because the reality is so ludicrous.

Offered the hypothetical chance to take out the leader of ISIS, one of the worst terrorist organisations in human history, the Labour leader asks what it would achieve.

 It is quite frankly ludicrous Jeremy Corbyn is in the running to be leader of the country

Faced with Bashar al-Assad, a man who butchers his own people with chemical weapons, Mr Corbyn demands that the US stop its air strikes against the Syrian leader.

This isn’t serious politics.

It’s the ramblings of a man who isn’t fit to stand for the leadership of his allotment committee, let alone the leadership of the country.

 He can't even bring himself to give a clear cut answer to taking out terrorists

As the leader of the opposition, he is supposedly trying to become Prime Minister.

But you’d be hard-pressed to find any evidence of that.

Asked an obvious question about whether there were any circumstances in which he’d press the nuclear button, his reply showed he hadn’t even bothered to prepare an answer.

If he ever did make it into Number Ten, our days would be numbered.

His defence policies are not so much dangerous as suicidal.

But the saving grace of this buffoon is that there’s as much chance of little green men from Mars invading us and taking power than there is of the British people handing him the nuclear codes.

 

Greed energy

THE energy companies’ reaction to Mrs May’s proposed energy price cap is to make all sorts of threats about the consequences.

They would, wouldn’t they?

For years they’ve been able to operate with impunity.

The regulator Ofgem hasn’t had enough power to intervene to stop consumers being ripped off.

Now Mrs May has listened to Sun readers and acted on our campaign.

Ofgem will have to limit the amount the Big Six can charge for gas and electricity on the tariffs used by seven out of ten homes in Britain.

All anyone wants is a fair deal on energy price bills.

Greedy firms have no one to blame but themselves.

Face facts

THE least surprising story of the day is that Facebook has been caught out again.

This time it’s the social media site’s inaction over revenge porn.

The victim — who understandably doesn’t want to be named — had to ask Facebook 20 times before it acted.

 It's high time Facebook bothered to do something about revenge porn on its platform

Facebook says it is “deeply committed to combating this issue”.

What rot.

It’s actions, not words, that count.

And Facebook’s actions show it doesn’t really give a damn.
