Jeremy Corbyn's jibe that Theresa May's "pouring petrol on burning justices" ignited Tory fury because its true.

Universal Credit benefit cuts are impoverishing people with low waged work trapping folk in poverty instead of jobs giving them a way off the breadline.

His anger was as genuine as her thunderous face in a brutal Prime Minister's Question Time and the Conservative wall of noise emphasised a raw political divide.

May lives in cloud cuckoo land if she genuinely doesn't recognise the hardship created as Universal Credit's rolled out across the country.

Topping the list of critical organisations reeled off by the Labour leader was a National Audit Office, a Whitehall spending watchdog, she's unable to dismiss.

Corbyn could've reinforced his argument by citing 2016's resignation of the system's godfather, Iain Duncan Smith, over Treasury imposed severity to slash costs.

But he did his demolition job with efficiency and passion. May's pledge two years ago on the steps of No 10 to tackle burning injustices fails the Deeds not Words Suffragette test.

The truth hurt May. it's why Corbyn should stick to facts. They're on his side.
