PMQ's: May deals with heckle by pointing out Tories brought in true universal suffrage, Corbyn does a little piece on it being the ordinary women suffering and campaigning who led to votes for women but focusing on working class women might have been an error. Corbyn says crime rising s does PM regret police cuts, May says crime is down to record lows and protecting police budget, Corbyn says recorded crime and violent crime is up wile budgets cut then quotes inspectorate warnings about neighbourhood crime. May says reported crime is about reforms to get crimes recorded and says budgets have been protected, quotes former Labour minister who says police could have 10% cut but ignores quote. Corbyn points to flaws in recording and quotes another chief constables due to cuts of police support staff making people feel unsafe, May says she pushed through reforms on recording crime and extra money made to police, gives general defence of what she has brought in for police and the crimes she has got taken seriously. Corbyn says she should act on report about unrecorded crime, that May is failing on first duty of PM of safety and quotes Philip Davies (who quips about being quoted by Corbyn) before going on guncrime and again chief constable saying he doesn't have resources to fight it. May again says increasing police budgets and points (without backing up) Corbyn's record on police powers, Corbyn quotes policeman on police cuts and loss of other public services like youth and probation are adding to strain on police. May points to areas she has tackled and then launches into a wider attack on Corbyn's record on law and order. Corbyn doesn't have a strong defence on his record but talks of need for rehabilitation and goes on cuts, crime can't be stopped on cheap. May goes for strong economy and quotes McDonnell adviser of danger of Labour
Corbyn lacked incisiveness but wins by being able to quote police head after police head complaining about resources and cuts works in providing a theme, one decent section on cut to prevention. May never really got to grips with the attacks, she ignored the quotes given against her and can't talking about protecting police budgets without a strong defence of that while her counter-attacks lacked punch, worrying for Tories to struggle on law and order. Blackford welcomes RBS agreeing to limit bank closures which he puts down to communities and SNP while saying May did nothing, May says commercial decision but asks why SNP fail on broadband to rural community, Blackford calls it pathetic and ignores the attack before going into Wapsi women, May defends the reforms of pensions to equalize the pension and taken action to help Wapsi ladies. Felt Blackford failed there
