There’s no denying that Jeremy Corbyn has made Labour an anti-nuke party which would leave Britain defenceless

LABOUR would leave Britain defenceless to a nuclear attack. They can spin it ­however they like . . . but under Jeremy Corbyn they are an anti-nuke party.

The world knows that as Prime Minister, Corbyn — now officially endorsed by the Communists — would never press the button, even in retaliation.

North Korea could level London and he would still bleat about a “political solution”, of the sort he seems to want negotiated with the savages of IS.

As a lifelong peacenik, Corbyn can take no other position.

But it confirms his total unsuitability to lead a major nation in a hostile world.

His party knows this is electoral suicide — and hilariously had to remind its own leader yesterday of its official ­position: to renew the Trident deterrent.

Trouble is, Corbyn would NEVER use it. That’s all there is to it. That’s his party’s position going into the election.

Fuels rush in

IF the Tories fear their punishment beating for diesel drivers will cost them votes, they are right.

But they should do more than shelve it until after the election. They should bin it.

Years ago, in a panic over climate change, successive Governments bribed Britain into buying diesels to cut CO2.

This one is in the grip of a new hysteria about toxic air — and the easy scapegoats now are those same diesel drivers.

They will not appreciate, now or after June 8, a collapse in the value of their biggest financial asset after their home.

Nor scandalous fees to enter cities.

Nor a huge rise in diesel tax.

A generous scrappage scheme would work for those with smoky old bangers.

But owners of valuable, modern cars, vans or cabs will suffer a triple whammy they do not remotely deserve.

The Government must not underestimate their anger.

We all want cleaner air.

The right course is to wean Britain off new diesels and wait as long as it takes for used ones to reach the natural end of the road.

French flop

FRANCE wants change. It won’t get it.

The likely next President Emmanuel Macron is a rich, centre-left Europhile of the liberal elite, ready to continue the calamitous programme of the useless socialist Francois Hollande.

His appeal is based on bland promises and on NOT being anti-immigration hardliner Marine Le Pen.

We’re no fans of hers, but the fact she has polled so well illustrates the anger in France over failures in terror prevention and public services. If elected, Macron won’t solve any of it.

Meanwhile he is violently anti-Brexit and bent on giving Britain the hardest possible time.

What a dismal choice France has.
