Jeremy Corbyn insists Labour stands for ‘kinder, gentler’ politics… he’s not fooling anybody
The sight of sinister protesters attempting to silence Jacob Rees-Mogg on Friday night was shocking — and a vicious assault on free speech
BALACLAVAS have no place in British politics.
The sight of sinister hard-left protesters attempting to silence Jacob Rees-Mogg on Friday night was shocking — and a vicious assault on free speech.
The irony is that these cowardly cretins hiding behind masks think Rees-Mogg is a latter-day Hitler.
After playing peacemaker, he looks more like Gandhi.
But Friday’s scuffle is nothing compared to the sickening abuse that is dished out on social media — usually directed at women.
The PM is right to introduce tighter rules to crack down on the intimidation and aggression that is infecting our politics.
It’s clear that social media companies won’t do it.
Like those over-excited activists playing dress-up in Bristol, most of the trolls seem to be Corbynista cranks — and that’s hardly surprising.
After all, the Shadow Chancellor has called for “direct action” against Conservative MPs, joked about “lynching” his opponents and describes violent protesters as the “best” of the Labour movement.
Party bigwigs turn a blind eye to intimidation, anti-Semitism and sexism, which got so bad this week that a well-respected Labour Council leader resigned.
Jeremy Corbyn still insists his party stands for “kinder, gentler” politics.
He’s not fooling anybody.
House it come to this?
THE cost of renovating Parliament is eye-wateringly high.
We reveal today that half a billion quid will be needed even before MPs move out.
The reason it’s become such an expensive project is that for years senior politicians weren’t willing to make a decision, win the support of their colleagues and make the case to the public.
In a vital week for Brexit negotiations, it’s a handy reminder that drift has consequences.
The ball is in our court and we need to spell out to Brussels what we want from the EU.
The problem with fence-sitting is that you end up with splinters.
Two become One's
SO Geri Horner wants the Spice Girls to perform at Harry and Meghan’s big day.
Britain’s favourite redhead has overcome a fair few scandals to become a real national treasure — but that’s enough about the Prince.
We’d love to see the girls spice up the reception.
Even if “tonight is the night when two become one” might be a bit much in front of Her Majesty.
