The punch and Judy show of PMQs is is all bluster, when you have austerity heavy on one side and austerity light on the other, with both leaders accepting the Thatcherite "there is no alternative" (TINA) then it is a meaningless squabble.
But Corbyn doesn't accept TINA and neither do his supporters, Cameron can pluck figures out of his arse all day about his busted system, but if you believe the system is busted and Corbyn does, it's water off a ducks back. That's why the "economic argument" has made no difference to his support. Why? well for many young people, who have flocked to Corbyn the neo liberal economic system we now have doesn't offer opportunity, it fucks them over, and when you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose.
