Brexit wobble

IT would be a miracle if our economy sailed through the weeks after the Brexit vote without a hitch.

The Leave campaign predicted short-term instability. So did The Sun — and the latest survey seems to reveal it.

Why wouldn’t it? Confidence is crucial. It is no surprise if investors and consumers hang on to their money for a while after Project Fear’s pre-referendum hysteria about financial meltdown.

This apparent slowdown may be a blip. It may be more. But nothing fundamental has changed. Britain won’t actually leave the EU till at least 2019.

This week the Bank of England found no real troubling economic signs and said it was mainly “business as usual”.
But uncertainty IS damaging.

Which means Theresa May and her Brexit team rapidly firming up exactly what exit terms they intend to push for.

Spooks smear

HOW does a raging conspiracy loon get to preside over the biggest union in Britain?

Len McCluskey of Unite claims MI5 agents secretly pose as violently abusive pro-Jeremy Corbyn agitators on social media to discredit Labour’s leader.

What a grotesque and ridiculous insult to our intelligence services.

We are living in dangerous times, as the latest atrocity in Munich shows.

MI5 is working flat-out to protect us from a similar assault, and so far doing it with admirable dedication and skill.

It is shameful to claim they would waste time toxifying Labour, when McCluskey and Corbyn need no help.

“Anybody who thinks that isn’t happening doesn’t live in the same world that I live in,” jibbers McCluskey.

Indeed we don’t. His is a parallel world in which our spooks are out to stop Corbyn becoming Prime Minister and pigs can fly.

Evans help him

WE’VE had a few differences with Chris Evans.

But it worries us to see him ­swigging brandy on the M4.

He’s obviously at rock bottom after his Top Gear implosion and other troubles. Knocking back spirits isn’t the answer.

Evans still has his Radio 2 show. We hope the BBC will step in and try to keep him on the straight and narrow.

For the sake of the star, his wife and their two young kids.

Barking mad

IS three-year-old Prince George:

a) A photogenic toddler keeping his dog cool with a lick of ice cream?

b) A taxpayer-funded dog-abusing monster who should be in jail?

The answer, if you’re a royal-hating web troll seeking to stir hate, is b).
