Like Gulliver tied down at Lilliput, we are tied down by a ragtag, motley collection of feeble, fickle, footling politicians. All in desperate pursuit of a single ignoble aim – to renege on the solemn promise they made to the British people and try to cancel the largest single democratic mandate in our history. On the left, we have Jeremy Corbyn, self-avowed Marxist, without doubt the most left-wing leader the Labour Party has ever had, who has achieved the remarkable feat of being even more unpopular on his side than ours. Mr Corbyn would have the public believe that he is a man of principle. Jeremy Corbyn – a man who has spent his career in the division lobbies with our great heroes Iain Duncan Smith, Bill Cash and John Redwood voting against the European Union, only to campaign for Remain. And now Corbyn’s Surrender Act simply offers more dither and pointless delay, at a cost of £250 million every week. This from the gentleman who has spent the last two years demanding an immediate general election, only now to run away from an election once it was offered, in his best impression of Georgie Porgie. He is a man who claims to have spent his entire career fighting racism, only to allow such virulent anti-Jewish racism to proliferate in the Labour Party that under his leadership it has become the second party ever in this country after the BNP to be formally investigated for racism.
