Exactly - and look at the stick she got from Corbyn supporters. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy here you know!

May (whatever some think of her) was at least more honest than Corbyn in not making lots of rash promises to win the election. May pretty much stuck with her 'austerity' policies, with a few changes, which understandably did not go down well with much of the electorate. She was forced to soften her approach due to public opinion but, unlike Corbyn, she did not make bold, irresponsible promises, some of which Corbyn has already reneged on, purely to win the election. And he hasn't even got in yet, imagine what other u-turns he may carry out if he actually does and no longer needs to curry favour to win an election.

She tried to stick to her party's policies of reducing the public deficit in order to improve the economy long term - whatever peoples' view on that. She should have done more for the NHS - but that's not my point, my point is she was more honest and not just saying what people desperately wanted to hear after years of austerity.

In my book Corbyn, and all his promises, is one big con for desperate people looking for better times. It would simply be a repeat of Labour's tainted history of plenty of broken promises. We have seen it all before. All talk and no action as usual.

May has also announced that she will resign on 30th August 2019 after she has seen Brexit through, no doubt bowing down to public opinion and giving the party a better chance at the next election. Couldn't see Corbyn doing that - he is too desperate for power, as was demonstrated by his refusal to stand down as Labour leader after several demands he do so by his own party.
