....... Dangerous comment. Does anyone really question the Tory agenda now. Gave yourself away Mr Cameron. What next, banning legitimate political parties and other organisations. Sorry to reel out the over used comparison, but anyone for the 1930's?

    Starting to feel like that. I reckon the Tories could implode within the next two years as even their own MP's will surely baulk at the subtext on show here

    It's pathetic, isn't it. Not only the message but thoses who were wheeled out to parrot that message, Priti Patel and Michael Farron came across as vapid and disingenuous. Farron is a disgrace, and has proven himself not a serious politician, not only for this but for suggesting Miliband would "stab the country in the back". Call my naive but I expect a bit more respect from ministers of state.

    It says more about the messangers than the message that the PM allows his own twitter, an official mode of communication for the Government to echo this cringeworthy and artificially created attack.

    Not dissimilar to Churchill's disastrous comments in the 1945 election that many see as critical to his defeat.

    Hey, for once we are nearly on the same page!:D It's a ridiculous claim, and the Tories could well implode over the EU (but not Corbyn).
    I don't believe the Tories believe this national security nonsense, or are scared of Corbyn, it's just rubbish pumped out when the 'caring-sharing' masks slipped at HQ and they got over-excited by the Corbyn election.
    He's never going to get anywhere near the stuff that would have a lot of us going :o>:(:o so 'national security' is not threatened.

    He's not wrong given some of Corbyn's woefully bad foreign policy ideas.

    However, let's not forget that before the name ISIS became common knowledge, Cameron's government was willing to arm Islamists in Syria under the assumption that all of them were fighting a good, progressive rebellion against Assad. There was no distinction between say the Free Syrian Army who were fighting for good intentions, and those Islamic extremist forces. I think Nigel Farage pointed this out in 2013.

    I think getting rid of Trident IS dangerous.

    Probably, but he's right.

    Corbyn wants to remove Trident, pull out of NATO and comes a cross as a pacifist that would struggle to do the right decision if the UK was attacked by a nation or group sponsored by a nation.

    That email they sent out was just plain BS.

    Like taking Corbyn's quote about Bin Laden completely out of context to make sound like a supporter of al-Qaida.

    The Conservatives tell us that he thought it was a tragedy that Bin Laden was killed.

    But ignored the context, which was that he thought it was a tragedy that he was killed, rather than face trial.

    Just shameful.

    Cameron resorting to form. Even members of his own Government are warning him about personal attacks.

    Sadly Cameron doesn't know any better.

    yeah it has suddenly become very personal...its kinda sad and not what the country wants

    i remember the whole miliband knifed his brother in the back that was used throughout the commons. I mean during the debates Sky focused on his brother more than his actual policies. scary stuff.

    Hi insurance company, I'd like to claim for a burglary in my house. Yes I did leave the front door wide open - but we've got to trust people haven't we?

    Given his past, why would anyone think Jeremy Corbyn is NOT a threat to national security?

    Cameron's guilty of stating the bleedin' obvious - that's all.

    Well, we all expected the Tory trash machine to get going quickly, didn't we?

    This is obnoxious, odious drivel from the Illustrious Leader of course, but completely in character.

    Sadly that's been politics in this country since the turn of the millennium at least. Both partys do it to the other. It's all smears, lies and exaggerations. I tend to ignore it.

    Apart from a few nutters who agree, this just makes the Tories look bad. I'm all for it.

    If Labour are a threat to national security, then surely Cameron must immediately outlaw the Labour party. If he fails to do so, then we must assume Cameron is weak on protecting the country.

    Or maybe, and call me crazy, maybe the Labour party - Her Majesty's loyal opposition, aren't a threat to national security and the Tories are lying.

    Man who voted for war in Iraq says man who didn't and protested against the war in Iraq is a 'danger to security'.

    You couldn't make it up.

    @ o** Cameron.

    Cameron voted for war in Iraq, Corbyn didn't.

    I'm sure once the right wing media have published daily stories about how Corbyn loves Bin Laden and supports ISIS and wants Britain to be nuked and invaded by Russia, the public would welcome the Tory party banning the opposition party.
