David Cameron: Corbyn poses a threat to Britain's financial security

Jeremy Corbyn hasn’t even been elected Labour leader but the campaign to undermine him begins today. David Cameron will give a speech on the economy, in which he will warn that Corbyn will threaten Britain’s security — a strategy I wrote about earlier this week. According to today’s Times, the Prime Minister will make his first significant attack on a Corbyn-led Labour by focusing on the threat to Britain’s financial security:

‘I have watched with some bewilderment the Labour leadership election of the past few months.

‘Whoever wins . . . this is now a party that has completely vacated the intellectual playing field and no longer represents working people. It is arguing at the extremes of the debate, simply wedded to more spending, more borrowing, and more taxes.

‘They pose a clear threat to the financial security of every family in Britain. There’s only one party that understands the big question facing our country, and one party that is developing an answer to it — and that’s the modern Conservative party.’
