THE SUN ON SUNDAY SAYS

Remoaners, Lib Dems and Lords are trying to wreck Brexit — and the Prime Minister must not let them

Theresa May must not let anti-Brexit forces prevent us from leaving the EU

PM must stand up to wreckers

IT’S nearly two years since the people had their say on Europe, but you wouldn’t know it from the outrageous wrecking tactics of Remoaners in the Lords.

Yet again, unelected peers think they know better than the 17.4million people who voted to get out of the EU racket.

They reckon the public were hoodwinked and that they didn’t know what they were voting for.

Now they are hoping the “great unwashed” are either too dim to notice or too bored to care anymore. It’s patronising rubbish.

It’s no surprise that this latest rebellion is being led by the Lib Dems, a party whose anti-Brexit platform was so popular at the last election that they managed to win 12 seats — just under 2 per cent of the Commons.

Hardly shocking then that they’re no fans of democracy.

What they’re doing is downright dangerous, and not just because a trolling guide produced by one Remoaning pressure group ominously promises “direct action”.

The risk is that they put up enough barriers to our departure that the Government ends up compromising on membership of the customs union.

That would be a knife in the heart of Global Britain and mean that Brussels bureaucrats would still be setting the rules.

That simply cannot happen.

The Prime Minister must stand firm.

We weep for little Alfie

THE tragic death of Alfie Evans has touched the nation.

There are real questions to be asked about who has the final say on treatment for terminally-ill children.

But for now those debates should be put to one side.

Our hearts go out to his parents who have fought so hard to give their son a chance.

We also want to offer a tribute to the NHS staff who did all they could for him.

And who will do the same, again and again, for hundreds of kids in the future.

Salahlujah for Mo!

MO Salah is one of those sportsmen that you just want to succeed.

But he’s proved himself much more than just a footballer.

He’s broken down walls between different communities and has given back to those in his home town who weren’t blessed with such a cultured left foot. He’s even forgiven a thief.

He is an inspiration to us all.
