“Serial U-turner” Theresa May

• JAMES Annett asserts that “Ms May will make a better prime minister than Jeremy Corbyn” (Cash blow would be poetic justice for Leave pensioners, April 28). There is no evidence to support that idea.

Ms May tells us nothing about where she is going or how she will get there. She opposed Brexit but now supports it. She repeatedly told us an election was unnec­essary but has now called one. Far from offering “strong and stable” leadership it would seem her stock in trade is the opportunist U-turn.

Jeremy Corbyn has been consistent in his defence of the welfare state, the NHS, for better rights in the workplace, for action on the housing crisis, help for disabled people along with a green agenda and plans for investing in the wider economy.

Jeremy has defended values which New Labour proclaimed but did so much to undermine. He has taken on the apparently dominant Blairite consensus and won handsomely, not once but twice. He has shown us where he wants to go and considerable grit on the way.

Perhaps Jeremy doesn’t excel at vacuous knockabout politics but he does have a clear vision. He has no problem spelling it out, unlike Ms May. The serial U-turner is asking us to trust her while she makes it all up on the hoof. Her mantra would seem to be “I have principles. If you don’t like them, I have others.”
