What the papers say: Jeremy Corbyn does pose a threat to the Tories

Theresa May is riding high in the polls and there’s much talk of a Tory landslide – but that doesn’t mean the Government should rest on its laurels, says the Daily Telegraph. It’s vital, the paper says, that the PM does her best to ‘create a sense of urgency among the voters’; ‘They have to understand the dangers of not coming out to support her,’ the paper adds. Of course, some might laugh at the prospect of Corbyn making it to Number 10 – yet it’s just that sense of ‘impossibility’ that the Labour leader ‘hopes to exploit’. After all, a Corbyn government ‘would make the country poorer’ – something confirmed in his first campaign speech yesterday in which he took a pop at ‘wealth extractors’ – mixing up ‘a few rotten apples, such as Philip Green, with the entire free market system’. Yet if the Labour agenda ‘sounds so mad that some Tories might be tempted to put their feet up’, the Telegraph issues a stark warning: don’t.
