... the reality is Corbyn has reached out to the youth and the poorest in our society against all odds.
Against all odds? Fcuk me. It was on the back of possibly the most cynical political bribe in history.

Dec 2016 Total reported crimes - 491,670How do you define an adequate police force?
I ask because as far as I can see based on crime statistics the police force are doing a great job.
I'm not sure it was as close as you suggest. Not to an outright victory.He was very very close. So many constituents were on a knife edge really - had that vote been done another month later I reckon he could have got a majority - he's manifesto was not extreme left wing as some like to make it. It was sensibly costed and people saw that, the momentum is on his side, people can say that's down to May and her campaign. But the reality is Corbyn has reached out to the youth and the poorest in our society against all odds.
Try and get a crime recorded as part of the stats these days.

Mar 2017 Total recorded crimes - 544,237.
Yep, great job.
Have you?
I'm glad someone else pointed that out.
It really is against all the odds to persuade people (that have never paid any tax in) that if they voted for him, he'd give them £28,000.
(Or the equivalent of about ten years income tax take from the average wage earner).

Based on official figures from the ONS, as supplied by the Home Office. And even the relevant Parliamentary Committee, the Public Affairs Select Committee, was scathing about how targets were encouraging police forces to manipulate crime reports, claiming that you simply couldn't rely on recorded crime figures.
I might be missing something here but those little red bars appear to be getting bigger more recently.

Well it looks to me that crime hasn't worsened according to official statistics 2010-15 when the 20,000 officers were slashed and the crime survey shows people feeling safer doesn't it. You gonna say the crime survey is bollocks as well?
In fact it's considerably lower than it was in peak Labour 2000-2008.
But you'd argue black was white if you thought it would score a political point at the moment. You chose 2015-16 specially as a cherry pick and you know it.
