Theresa May must be wary of voters scorned over Brexit deal turning to Jeremy Corbyn
Ushering in Britain’s first Marxist PM should not be a legacy Mrs May wants
PM must be wary of voters scorned
THERESA May probably thinks she can get the Brexit deal through Parliament.
She might even think that, eventually, she will get it through Brussels in some form.
But one group seem determined to punish her for fudging Brexit: the voters.
As our poll reveals today, 53 per cent hate the White Paper.
The anger among many Leave voters — who think they are being stitched up — is palpable.
Her Chequers proposal shows she has sided with Remainers in the Treasury and Civil Service, who are determined to stop any short-term shock of exiting the bloc, and so have convinced the PM to blur her “red lines”.
Instead, Mrs May should have viewed Brexit as a golden chance for Britain to become a buccaneering, free-trading, independent nation. One able to set its own laws and control its borders.
The idea of taking diktats from European courts, having no border control, and being unable to strike free trade deals — while paying Brussels £39billion — is not the Brexit people voted for.
Mrs May should look at our poll today to see the bloody nose the Tories could be dealt at the next General Election.
Unless she starts being honest with the country, then she will cause further disillusionment among voters, potentially opening the door to Jeremy Corbyn…
Ushering in Britain’s first Marxist PM should not be a legacy Mrs May wants.
Bring it home in 2030
EXPECTATIONS were not high before the World Cup began — for once.
With the pressure lifted off the players’ shoulders — combined with Gareth Southgate’s leadership — our boys played with passion and determination.
Despite yesterday’s loss to Belgium, they were real ambassadors for England.
Meanwhile, the FA are set to apply for the 2030 World Cup. Good. About time.
The tournament will mark a century since the first one in Uruguay. So where better to host it than in England, where the beautiful game was born?
We have the stadiums, the transport and the passion — attributes shamefully ignored in recent years by Fifa.
It is time that football’s greatest show finally came home.
Bravest of the cave
THE British divers who risked their lives to save the trapped Thai boys are true heroes.
Their extraordinary, selfless, mission was utterly courageous, especially after a colleague died during the operation.
Such heroics should be recognised. Who could be more deserving of a George Cross?
