Prime Minister’s Questions: Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn hammers David Cameron
Speaker John Bercow had to tell off the Tories for drowning out Mr Corbyn during the exchange – saying their rowdy politics was not what the public wanted to hear.
Last week we were transported to Russian Federation once again by David Cameron, who seems rather obsessed with his historical references with which to compare Jeremy Corbyn’s left-wing team.
Mr Corbyn used his later questions to ask Mr Cameron whether the NHS would suffer a “winter crisis” this year, as he referred to warnings from health charity The King’s Fund.
“It is the Labour party that’s heading for a winter crisis”, the PM retorted. Look at his appointments.
In fiery clashes during Prime Minister’s Questions, the Conservative leader also attacked the “crazy socialist plans” of the Labour leader, whom he accused of employing a “Stalinist”, a “Trotskyist” and a “communist” among his advisors.
Jeremy Corbyn has defended his decision to ask a question at Prime Minister’s Questions from a member of the public after it emerged he was a former British National Party (BNP) organiser. “The NHS is in a problem”.
He said: “Can I ask you which is rising faster: NHS waiting lists or NHS deficits?” The prime minister said he would answer the question on 25 November when George Osborne outlines new proposals for tax credits after the government’s defeat in the House of Lords.
Mr Cameron said: “These remembrance services are very important right up and down our country and the military covenant, I think, is one of the most important things that we have where we make a promise to our military that, because of the sacrifices they make on our behalf, they should not have less good treatment than other good people in our country”. The Prime Minister said his Government was ploughing an extra £10 billion into the health service on the back of a strong economy. “That serving soldier wouldn’t have a job if [Corbyn] ever got anywhere near power”.
