PM must crush Labour plotters
THE gulf in credibility between the Tory and Labour leadership has rarely been greater.
Theresa May vows today to stick to her timetable to deliver Brexit on behalf of the majority who voted for it.
She’s now off leading a trade mission to secure a vital new deal with India.
You may not like her, or Brexit. But that is indisputably what leadership looks like.
Jeremy Corbyn, by contrast, threatened to force an election if Brexit is not on his terms.
But earlier, when gently asked if he fancied a snap poll, he bolted like a startled hare — squealing he was being “harassed”.
Corbyn himself is now a pitiful irrelevance. More troubling is his MPs’ plot to negate the referendum verdict.
Labour’s oh-so-plausible Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer insists he accepts it. Other MPs say the same.
We don’t buy it.
Starmer is still paid by a legal firm that helped delay Article 50 last week.
And on Wednesday 70 Labour MPs lapped up a speech by Tony Blair’s ex-guru Will Hutton in which he claimed, incredibly, the “overwhelming majority of British people” want to reaffirm our EU membership.
He urged MPs to fight to overturn the June 23 result. The delusion and arrogance of this ruling elite are off the scale.
Yet these are the true motives of some Labour MPs and of Lib-Dems including Nick Clegg and many of his party’s peers.
Their dangerous attempt to negate Britain’s biggest ever democratic vote will go on until Article 50 is triggered.
If the Supreme Court rules against her, the PM must force a Bill through without delay.

Put yacht in pension pot
EVEN now Philip Green is trying to extract himself on the cheap from the BHS fiasco.
Green, who sent a string of ‘‘bullying’’ texts to Pensions Minister Ros Altmann, has offered about £250million to plug the hole in the pension fund.
Not chicken feed, maybe, but vastly less than the billionaire can afford and £100million less than the Pensions Regulator wants.
By happy coincidence, that’s exactly what Green’s new superyacht is worth.
He must flog it. And give the lot to the loyal staff who, to the bitter end, tried to keep the failed business afloat.
He has to be Sir Muzza
TWICE Wimbledon and Olympic champion, US Open winner, Davis Cup winner.
Now, Andy Murray OBE is world Number One.
We know knighthoods are reserved for shifty tycoons or useless Downing Street press officers.
But in any sane world magnificent Muzza would become Sir Andy at the earliest opportunity.
Come on, PM — knight a sporting hero who’s a genuine credit to Britain.
