Labour’s Barry Gardiner talks sense — they will be tainted for ever as the party that betrayed 17.4million people should they force second referendum

Barry right

WE never thought we’d see a Corbyn front-bencher talk such sense on Brexit.

Shadow Cabinet minister Barry ­Gardiner will doubtless now be frog-marched to a Labour re-education camp. But meanwhile let’s salute him for having the bottle to admit the obvious:

5

That a second referendum risks a ­catastrophic breakdown of trust in democracy — and of law and order.

Labour Remainers are furious. That’s because they are in denial about the dire consequences of their comically named “People’s Vote” potentially reversing the first People’s Vote in 2016.

In the Remoaner bubble they never leave, they fantasise that Brexit voters have changed their minds and would now keep us in the EU, to everyone’s joy.

It is utterly delusional. But their campaign is gaining traction because the Government does nothing to combat it.

5

Instead it falls to Gardiner to point out there is no force more powerful than denying people their democratic right to bring about change. That if our ­biggest vote ever is annulled before its verdict is carried out, hell may follow.

Labour should listen.

If their votes ever lead to a new referendum, they will be tainted for ever as the party that betrayed 17.4million people.

Bunch of jerks

5

THE attack on Jamie Oliver by Labour is more than a storm in a rice bowl. It is a terrifying glimpse into Corbynista priorities and how they would wield power if Britain was ever crazy enough to let them.

Corbyn’s lieutenants couldn’t care less about the real racism rife in their party.

They are too busy berating a TV chef for dishing up “jerk rice” and “appropriating” Jamaican culture. “Your jerk rice is not OK,” says Dawn Butler, the idiotic Shadow Equalities Secretary.

Clive Lewis (“Shadow Treasury Minister for Sustainable Economics”) claims Oliver’s rice is basically like slavery.

5

Yes, they’re round the bend. But imagine these clowns running the Treasury, Home Office or Ministry of Defence.

Imagine them policing your behaviour, or sending our aid to prop up the left-wing tyrants or terror groups their dim-witted, juvenile leader idolises.
It’s chilling.

Migrant sense

5

IF the Government intends to bin its 100,000 annual net migration target, we’re all for it.

The number post-Brexit should be dictated solely by the needs of the economy and what we can accommodate.

The current total is too high for the latter. But a random six-figure cap is pointless and probably unachievable. Liam Fox is right to say we should “match our employment opportunities with our migration policy”.

Are you listening, PM?
