I bumped into Jeremy Corbyn in the corridor yesterday after he had finished his debate with Andrew Neil. A female on his team gave out a little squeak of fear when I suggested a picture together. We are quite the couple I suppose.

As a good honest wife, I told him I had been cross at him all day for the things his said in his speech. He restarted his political campaign after a three-day pause seemingly blaming our foreign policy for terror in the U.K.

I was cross at his timing, angry at the content of the talk and mad as a box of frogs that he seemed to be excusing terrorism as retaliation for intervention overseas.

But the strange thing is you can't be mad at Jeremy for long.

He was genuinely nice to everyone he met outside the studio. He took time to take pictures with the crew, he was quiet when nothing needed to be said, and he joked with the studio boss when they went down in the lift together.

And I even got my picture.

I've always said he is the type of guy you could have an affair with. You wouldn't want to be married to him - he looks a bit vegan in a vest - but on a Friday afternoon at around 6pm, he makes you feel pretty good about the world.

Which is a curious thing. Because earlier I was raging at him.

Raging because he got his timing so horribly wrong.

At a time when five children remain in a critical condition in hospital, when the nation waits under a Critical threat level and our Accident and Emergency units across the country were put on standby, words matter.

We want to hear it is going to be OK. That immediate action is being taken. That those who hate us are being rounded up and locked down. That all those on the watch list, 'known to the authorities', are soon going to be 'known to incarceration' instead.

We need someone to give us hope all is not lost.

But that was not the message Jeremy Corbyn came to give. He took to the stage and seemed to point the finger of blame at ourselves.

He said our foreign policy was part of the problem.

He said we were culpable, that interfering in countries in the Middle East has created the terrorism we currently face in our country. It felt as though he excused the terror attacks as just retaliation. Claimed that we have fuelled terrorism, not fought it.

He appeared to side with every snivelling apologist I have watched on Channel 4 and our state broadcaster over the last two nights.

Corbyn offered a glimpse into a future from hell. In which we continue to apologise for everything, blame everyone else for the evil of an extreme ideology, and expect British people to stand apologetic even as more hammer blows rain down.

'In the past few days we've thought about our country a bit more, the people, our family and friends.'

A bit more? A BIT MORE?

We're exhausted. Exhausted from mourning, mourning the children we've lost and the country many feel like we have lost along with them.

I cannot stop seeing the image of Saffie Rose.

I am half a stone lighter. Eating doesn't seem to matter right now. Feeling happy makes me feel wrong. I feel guilty I still have my babies to spend half-term with.

Next week I am going to take them into my nest and just stay there, holding on to them, keeping them safe. Feeling sorry for the mums and grandmas who can no longer do the same.

I have emails in my inbox from the elderly who are glad to be old. Glad it will soon be over. Preferring death as a relief to life in this cruel world. They have given up hoping.

Corbyn said terrorists will never divide us, will never prevail. His audience applauded, following the script.

And he told us we would never be defeated by terror.

He has no idea. Outside of Zones 1 and 2, away from the affluent left with their gilded lives and sanitised multiculture, polite and well behaved, we are not singing from his hymn sheet.

We are floored by the battering we have taken this week. If this is terror losing, I would hate to see what happens when it wins. We cannot understand how 3,000 terror suspects, 650 known jihadis, are allowed to be free when we feel trapped by fear.

And we are carrying on only because that is our default. It is not defiant or brave. It is the drive to work -- but not being able to recall a second of the journey that gets us there. We are on auto-pilot, waiting for someone, anyone to guide us to safety.

Security Minister Ben Wallace condemned Mr Corbyn’s speech and said Islamist terror was aimed at the British way of life rather than being a response to foreign military interventions.

He said terror is based on a warped ideology: 'They don't like our values, they don't like what we stand for, they don't like equality, and anyone who has them is fair game. That has nothing to do with foreign policy. That has to do with a twisted ideology.'

Wallace is right, of course. Terrorists are fighting against our values, against our girls having fun.

Jeremy went on to define these values, as he sees them: 'When we talk about British values, including tolerance and mutual support, democracy is at the very heart of them.

But just as Wallace is right, extremist Islamic terrorists are fighting against our way of life and they would whatever we do, Jeremy is not completely wrong.

And it worries me a little that we live in a world so polarised and shouty that we can't admit when our opponents might just have a teeny point.

Because we cannot deny that we have made mistakes in the Middle East. You need to choose your monsters. If you depose one, you'd better be sure it's replacement is better, not worse. It is why I rail against the toppling of Assad.

I'm not arguing that the West should not intervene in the Middle East, I'm arguing we need to do effectively and pragmatically.

And after 16 years of war since 9/11 can anyone really say with hand on heart that our efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq have been America and Britain's finest hours?

If there is one thing Corbyn cannot be knocked for - it is consistency. He is authentically himself

Is it possible years of endless bloodshed they have made it easier for ordinary Muslims to tolerate terrorism in their midst, more reluctant to condemn it?

The Manchester bomber's family came from Libya, where his brother and father were this week arrested.

When Gadaffi was in power they were his enemies, exiles in Britain. Do we really think helping depose him and turning parts of Libya into anarchic ISIS strongholds HELPED Britain's security situation?

And If there is one thing Corbyn cannot be knocked for - it is consistency. He is authentically himself.

He stood against intervention in Iraq, in Afghanistan and in Syria. And he remains true to his beliefs, unlike Tim Farron.

But his anti-interventionist stance leaves more questions than answers.

If the plan is to withdraw from overseas intervention, what will that mean for those countries? That they see the UK as impotent, willing to let others face destruction in order to save ourselves back home?

Will it be acceptable to Corbyn for our coalition partners to see we are cowards, choosing to protect the British people and leave our American allies exposed? Let the Americans play global policeman and pay for it with their tax dollars. Let their kids take the hit?

On what planet is that relationship special?

That would be an abdication of responsibility. Leaving the coalition to fight, whilst we skulk off into the shadows -- a truly dark place for patriots, so many of whom have emailed me today saying they are searching for a new country to call home, wanting to emigrate away from this place.

When the Libyan community in Manchester say this is a global problem - they mean if the West is seen to attack children in the Middle East, why are we surprised when the same happens here?

It is hard to listen to this.

In my mind, I see Corbyn standing with those in the Libyan community in Manchester who talked this week of a better understanding of sharia as a solution and said the father of the bomber was a well respected man.

So while I can follow his reasoning I have to tell my new photofriend, he's got it wrong.

I cannot help but feel that behind the authentic, human, Jeremy Corbyn, his strategic campaign team are playing to this crowd. Calculating votes to be won.

The IRA, Hamas, and now Libyan terrorists - all accepted with tolerance and humanity, welcomed into the Labour fold.

These terrorist sympathisers and those who refuse to condemn terror are becoming an important vote bank for rogue politicians. With this speech, Labour will secure more votes from the disenfranchised. But with these votes, democracy is subverted. This has got to be wrong
