No, you aren’t dreaming. The Right Wing hack behind Dodgy David Cameron’s ‘PigGate’ scandal did say this, on live television:
“Jeremy Corbyn is playing this beautifully.
There is a much more worrying bigger picture here for the Conservatives in the opportunity that they have created for Jeremy Corbyn to underline his case:
that unfettered free markets don’t work, and that somehow or other Carillion symbolises everything that is wrong about the system.
I don’t think most voters are particularly ideological – they just want things to work.
But if the government are seen to be incompetent on this scale, it does create a vaccuum for the leader of the Labour Party – and he’s doing that very effectively.”
