Theresa May’s warnings about a ‘coalition of chaos’ used to sound like empty threats. Not any longer. Since the publication of this week’s YouGov poll which suggested we could be heading for a hung Parliament, the prospect of Jeremy Corbyn making it to No.10 suddenly seems less unbelievable than before. But if May does lose her majority, Corbyn would not be able to govern alone.
Make no mistake, says the Sun: ‘Labour could not govern without a coalition with the SNP’. So whatever Jeremy Corbyn might say about his plan for governing – and Brexit- there’s little doubt that it would be the Scots who ‘would call the shots’. The team we can trust on negotiating Brexit – Theresa May and David Davis – would be gone, says the Sun – and in their place would come a ‘third-rate crew cobbled together’, the paper warns.
