I was a labour voter until Blair, never trusted him. Until election before last I voted lib dem, then last time snp. It will be labour this time. Not because I am no longer supportive of the SNP, they've done not a bad job at all, but...we need may/tories out. They're wrecking the country.
"...and then presumably blame others for not forgiving our debts when we turn into Greece mk2." Tories have already done that. In Europe we're the next worst paid/overworked to Greece. People are starting to see that tories are not better economically after all.
"Labour have a habit of goal post moving" cos tories never do that 
As for 'his own mp's don't like him' it's new labour - Tory lites - frankly they are not labour and never were.
"or dropping their hours to come in just under threshold)" the hours still need covered so that means another employee working more hours earning more and paying a little more in tax or even the creation of a second job! Brits are working stupid hours compared to other developed countries yet we're no better off for it.
Every time policies like these are suggested we hear 'businesses will leave the U.K.' 'Redundancies will go up' 'small businesses can't cope' and yet when has that happened? It didn't happen with the introduction of minimum wage, or changes to how many hours people work etc
"ultimately this policy is unsustainable for two reasons. The cost to those services which have to pick up the effects of the cuts eg police having to deal with people who have mental health problems which would previously have been helped by nhs is often greater than the spending which has been cut." Exactly - it's a short term short sighted approach. I was talking about exactly this with someone earlier today who works with the homeless. They were saying basically 'it's all well and good making cuts but long term it's far more expensive eg not building more houses. You get someone off the streets, into temporary accommodation, get them treatment if it's needed (addiction, mental illness etc) you get them to where they're coping, moving forward. Then cut housing benefit, this results in rent arrears, stress (making illness worse, addiction relapse more likely), they get evicted and you're back at square one!'
"Indidvidual disposable income is going down and this means that retailers etc make less profit as the public have less disposable income to spend." The rich especially the very rich tend not to spend. The poor/low income spend! My town is dying on its arse with these cuts. Tories better for economy! Gimme a break! More than half the high street boarded up, major employers are going overseas NOW because this country isn't maintaining itself properly. Pay people an ACTUAL living wage and they will head to their high st, on nights out, meals out, to theatres, cinema, concerts, on holiday...
The Tory 'good' record on economy is several times a day being dismantled and shown to be myth.
Corbyn & IRA etc - nobody really wins in a war, the stance of 'we don't negotiate with terrorists' has been shown to be mostly pointless. We wouldn't negotiate with the IRA for years, when we finally did - result - peace (albeit tentative/fragile but it's better than what WAS happening).
