THE SUN SAYS

Labour’s power trio are damned by their own words and are a danger to Britain

If you want the next leaders of this country to keep us safe, you can't rely on Jeremy Corbyn and his would-be Marxist government

LOOK at the faces of the three most senior Labour figures who could be in power on Friday. Now read the quotations alongside them.

These are the true feelings of Jeremy Corbyn, his shadow chancellor John McDonnell and shadow home secretary Diane Abbott.

This is what they really think when the pressure is off. When they are not trying to dupe you into voting for them.

When they are not posing as tough-guys on security, reading out the slick script fed to them by sinister aides hell-bent on installing the first Marxist government in Downing Street.

These people will not keep us safe. They loathe our country.

They believe we are oppressors — that when it comes to terror, Britain has it coming.

They romanticise terrorists worldwide as plucky, disadvantaged underdogs fighting Western imperialism, just as they always have done.

Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott were not hot-headed teenagers when they supported the wicked IRA as it tortured and assassinated our soldiers and police and massacred men, women and children.

They were elected MPs acting as the IRA’s useful idiots in Westminster, prolonging the hell of The Troubles as they did so.

They opposed any peace that did not hand total military victory to the bombers and executioners. They were the last people to support a negotiated peace — only doing so when the Provos themselves decided they’d had enough.

This is not just ancient history, as Labour’s naive young voters believe. Because far more recently this Labour trio harboured similar sympathies for the sort of jihadist maniacs now bringing carnage to London and Manchester and sizing up their next target.

Now, though, they have had to don a cloak of respectability to pose as a potential Government. And they have the bloody nerve to claim we will be safer under them than the Tories.

Remember this. Corbyn has boasted of spending nearly 35 years FIGHTING anti-terror laws.

He is repulsed by the idea of police marksmen shooting dead terrorists engaged in slaughter, just as he is by drone strikes on IS and was by Osama Bin Laden being taken out.

He believes IS sympathisers have a legitimate “political point”. And, of course, he warmly embraces as “friends” the Jew­hating, homophobic terrorists of Hamas and Hezbollah . . . all in the cause of “peace”, naturally.

This is not just about terror either. Corbyn would render our nuclear deterrent useless because he would never use it, even under attack.

Indeed, we suspect he and his followers are unable even to grasp the concept. It’s not about starting nuclear war. It’s about preventing one. Corbyn makes an attack MORE likely by saying he would never retaliate.

Under him, Labour would surrender our nukes.

Meanwhile McDonnell, who could be running the nation’s finances on Friday, loves others committing violence as a means to his ends. When masked thugs rioted in London in 2010 he was gleeful at them “kicking the s***” out of the Tory Party HQ.

He was even more of a fan of IRA murderers. He hailed the “bravery” of Provos even after they blew children to pieces. And how about the woman who could soon be running Labour’s “fight” against the maniacs who threaten Britain?

“Every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us,” said Abbott, backing the IRA.

She wanted anti-terror cops disbanded.

In 1999 she opposed a ban on various already notorious Islamist organisations. To her they were courageous, outspoken “dissidents”. One on the list was al-Qaeda. Two years later came 9/11.

Despite all this, Labour have managed since Saturday’s horror to capitalise politically on police cuts under the Tories. But they happened for two very obvious reasons.

First, because crime was falling sharply. Second, because Britain was broke in 2010.

When Gordon Brown’s Labour left office they were spending £3billion A WEEK more than they were raising in taxes.

They wrote a sneering note saying “There is no money” and skipped off, leaving the Tories to pull us from the abyss.

It boggles the mind that Labour and its supporters still whine about cuts without ever wondering why they had to be made. It is wilful blindness.

The Tories do now need to hire more cops and armed officers. They responded with lightning efficiency in London. But they are thin or non-existent elsewhere. There are many reasons why Sun readers should vote Conservative to keep Labour out on Thursday.

Corbyn’s ruinous spending and nationalisation plans would destroy countless jobs and futures and wreck our economy for a generation.

Labour’s chaos over Brexit would, we believe, doom it. And they would inevitably need a deal with the SNP to take power — a shambolic Government blackmailed by Scots devoted solely to breaking up the UK.

But the clincher is that Labour would fail catastrophically in its first duty, to keep our citizens safe and crack down on the enemies in our midst.

Their claims otherwise, with their track record and deep-seated sympathies, are laughable.

At least they would be — were they not a matter of life and death.
