| First we had David Cameron slamming Sadiq Khan for sharing a platform Suliman Gani, now John Mcdonnell is angry at Khan for appearing with Cameron. Before that, the SNP attacked Labour for campaigning with the Tories over the Scottish independence referendum, and just about everyone on the right has obsessed over the people Jeremy Corbyn has spoken alongside. Our first piece today suggests that this type of circular moral hypocrisy shows that the politics of Westminster is becoming just as thin-skinned as student politics.
Nobody can deny the hammering Jeremy Corbyn has received from much of the right-wing media but our next piece suggests that a new fly-on-the-wall documentary reveals that Corbyn and his advisers seem more concerned with attacking those who might otherwise be sympathisers or allies, than taking on those who really want to destroy him and his party.
Next up is a review of a book which has become the Brexiteers bible. The former leader of the Conservative MEPs looks at Daniel Hannan's book 'Why Vote Leave' and suggests that his account of the EU is based on distortions and errors.
And, we report that Nigel Farage was forced to cancel a campaign visit yesterday after tensions flared ahead of his appearance. The Ukip leader was due to speak in Northampton as part of his Brexit bus tour but had to divert to a county pub after angry scenes broke out between supporters and protesters.
