No, Jeremy Corbyn doesn't want to ban after work drinks

"Harmony seldom makes a headline" - Silas Bent View this email in your browser There's been lots of stories around today suggesting that Jeremy Corbyn wants to ban after work drinks. But does he really? Our first piece looks at what the Labour leader actually said and concludes that the claims seem to be based more on the imagination of the listener than on reality. And, it's not uncommon to read a press report about a man killing his wife and children, which ends up being more about how out of character it was for him, than it does about the people he killed. Our next piece today looks at the reporting of such cases in more detail and asks why we seem to be so quick to make excuses for the men who murder their own families.

The Canadian trade deal which will let in TTIP by the back door

"It is usually people in the money business, finance, and international trade that are really rich." - Robin Leach View this email in your browser A few years ago, only a small clutch of dedicated activists were raising concerns about TTIP. Now we are seeing countries like France and Germany come out to condemn it, but our first piece today explains how a Canadian trade deal could effectively let TTIP in through the back door. Theresa May reiterated yesterday that 'Brexit means Brexit', the problem is that nobody really knows what that means. And while it's still so unclear, the full impact of leaving the EU remains unknown. Our next piece looks at the key risks facing international development in a post-Brexit world.
