There's nothing different about Corbyn - he's been playing the same old tune for decades for anyone old enough to remember. The same old hate filled us v. them garbage which is perennially used to cover up Labour's failings.

I understand you have the odd issue with the Labour party but I'd still be interested to know why you seem to feel only the Labour party are trying to make political hey from what we hopefully both agree is a tragedy. Do you not feel the government giving money to those affected could fall in to the same category - especially after the response during the first few days that was nothing more than a fiasco? If the Local Authority had of stepped up on day 1 do you seriously think the hand-outs would have been forthcoming? The only difference is the Conservatives have been pushed in to trying to score some points because of dithering ineptitude and someone somewhere has come up with £5million as a figure that they hope will be the smallest amount required to buy themselves out of the hole they've been digging.
