The ghost of Jeremy Corbyn haunts Labour's front bench

At any other time, today's PMQs would have been an opportunity for an opposition leader to take Cameron to task over the EU referendum. But with Labour in a crisis of their own, this was never going to happen. Our verdict on this weeks clash finds that as the house fell weirdly silent as Corbyn spoke, it was like watching the ghost of the Labour leader who once was.

We're all used to election campaigns containing promises which are unlikely to be kept. While depressing, it's not really surprising to see the likes of Nigel Farage and Daniel Hannan rapidly backtracking on claims made before the referendum. Our next piece suggests that it's far more troubling that post-reality politics are continuing now we're outside the campaign.
