The Sun newspaper is claiming that its campaign to free an ex-SAS soldier has been a success after he was released early by a parole board. But our first piece today suggests that the 'victory' is not quite as it seems. The newspaper's petition calling for Albert Patterson's sentence to be suspended attracted over 161,000 signatures but that isn't why he was released early. Owen Smith's campaign to become leader of the Labour party hasn't been going all that well but our next piece suggests he is one of the few people in the party to be speaking any sense on Brexit. It argues that Corbyn's policy tacitly supports the most right-wing elements of the Conservative party but Smith's plan would ensure that, if it happens, it will happen in a tolerable and responsible way. |
