The Brexit divide

"It's about whether we settle for the same divisions and distractions and drama that passes for politics today or whether we reach for a politics of common sense and innovation, a politics of shared sacrifice and shared prosperity" - Barack Obama

The week starts with more drama in Westminster with Andrea Leadsom today pulling out of the race to be the next Conservative leader, meaning it's very likely that Theresa May will be prime minster a lot sooner than we expected. Meanwhile, Angela Eagle has formally launched her Labour leadership challenge against Jeremy Corbyn. 

But it's not just our political parties that are being torn apart by Brexit, families are too. If any of your relationships have been a bit tense since the referendum, our first piece today will guide you through how to heal those divisions. Just don't get used to us providing emotional guidance, it probably won't happen again.

Next up we have the latest article in our series on the impact of Brexit. This piece suggests that the recent rise in racist attacks is a stark reminder of the importance of the human rights framework.

And finally, we report on the latest protest by the feminist activists Sisters Uncut. The group have occupied a council property in Hackney to highlight the need for suitable housing for victims of domestic violence.
