THE SUN ON SUNDAY SAYS

Theresa May needs to control her party as they are divided over Boris’ burka comments

We need to be strong and stand above the Labour Party that is imploding from its anti-Semitism crisis

Boris Johnson's burka comments have divided the Tory party

Get grip before it's too late, PM

REGARDLESS of the rights and wrongs of Boris Johnson’s burka comments, one thing is for sure.

The Tories are well and truly mired in yet another bloodbath.

And a lot of it is of their own making. Instead of just sitting back and watching Labour self-destruct they now face weeks of in-fighting in front of frustrated voters — many of whom can’t see what all the fuss is about.

In a withering attack today, one of Theresa May’s own ministers describes her tactics as “cack-handed”.

We can only agree. She has left the Cabinet split right down the middle.

Senior party figures are also warning that if Boris is disciplined, a full-scale revolt will see the PM toppled within days.

In any case there could be anarchy by the time the Tory conference starts next month.

What a way to run a party, let alone a Government. The Prime Minister’s attempts to control this have so far turned a drama into a full-blown crisis.

She needs to staunch this festering party wound immediately.

Or else the infection will prove fatal.

Crisis Jez gets worse

JEREMY Corbyn never fails to surprise you.

Just when you thought his rancid links with anti-Semites could not get any worse, along comes another outrage.

Yesterday it was revealed he laid a memorial wreath for the terror leaders behind the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

Today we reveal he has appeared alongside anti-Jewish racists a multitude of times since 2002.

Many Labour MPs — among them lifelong anti-racism campaigners — will feel sickened by this.

But when will they speak out?

Jeremy Corbyn admits Labour have been ‘too slow’ to tackle anti-Semitism and admits it is a ‘real problem’

Hawaii oh why?

IT is shocking that a Ministry of Defence official went on a luxury, ten-night, £3,000 jaunt to Hawaii.

It is especially galling as the MoD faces a £20billion deficit over the next decade.

They may have to enforce bitter cuts — including losing 14,000 troops as well as the Navy’s two amphibious landing ships.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister refuses to confirm whether she will protect Britain’s status as a Tier One military power.

Of course, MoD staff need somewhere to stay during foreign trips.

But taxpayers should not foot the bill for a £300-a-night beach resort with complimentary yoga lessons.

Next time use the Holiday Inn.
