Why the oldest plutocracy in the world is terrified of 'Corbygeddon'

Whatever the fate of May’s deal, the blaming will continue as British politics descends further into chaos.

In the UK, one politician has been subject to the longest continuous smear campaign in UK history, and we are all influenced by it. Over 75 per cent of Jeremy Corbyn media coverage factually misrepresents him.

Donald Trump's comments are hardly any different from the “go home” billboard messages that were sprawled across vans when she was Home Secretary.

Household debt has risen dramatically in the last few years. Should the bubble burst there could be serious economic consequences.

UK policing is not perfect; genuine allegations of excessive use of force need to be investigated, but the simple fact is that our police service is the most restrained and compassionate in the world despite the huge pressures upon it.

For me it beggars belief that the crime of child sexual abuse could be seen as anything other than serious in any interpretation of the law, yet it seems it is not considered serious when it comes to double jeopardy legislation.

Trying to block PN’s return while flying the rainbow flag is rank hypocrisy on the part of the Home Office. It is clear they are trying to cover up the miscarriage of justice that was done to her.

If Labour had backed the Tories on Brexit, and acted as the midwives to May’s deal, they would have been just as culpable for the harm it will cause and for every job lost as a result.
