| There have been some surreal moments in politics recently but the petition set up by a Conservative councillor demanding that anyone still supporting EU membership after Brexit is charged with treason, must surely top them all. Although the plan is so ridiculous it's actually quite funny, our first piece today suggests it shows that Brexiters are losing the plot and that it should not be viewed in isolation. It argues that this type of view stems from a history of eurosceptic thinking which sees the lending or giving up of sovereignty as intrinsically unpatriotic.
And, Jeremy Corbyn is used to coming under attack from his opponents but today we report that he is now facing criticism from his own supporters over his decision to attend an event organised by the Socialist Workers Party. In a public letter they call on the Labour leader to apologise to rape victims for 'laundering' the SWP's reputation. |
