Frost, the Remainer-turned-Brexiter who negotiated our miserable trade deal with the EU, has every reason to feel more inadequate than usual faced with Burnham’s genuinely impressive speech. As he proves here with this petty, snide and stupid gloss. Burnham really is riling them.

One interesting consequence of Burnham’s truth-telling today on Brexit, and plan to set out what I hope will be a path to rejoin, is that Farage will be forced back onto what is now - funnily enough - his least favourite subject. Let’s see him defend his inheritance in detail.

Pressure building up at and beyond Labour Party Conference because: - Brexit even more costly than predicted, hurting economy & damaging public finances - Geopolitical situation: aggressive Russia in east & unreliable USA in west - British public now has a steadily growing majority for rejoining EU

Forget “cruel”; try “dumb” and “unworkable”. Reform’s main-character syndrome leads it to believe the EU will agree to reopen the Brexit deal to accommodate this idiocy. It won’t and any attack on its citizens in the UK is likely to trigger serious side-effects. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

Not in the way Farage wants to interpret it, it doesn’t. Elections give an MP the right to represent their constituents and vote in Parliament, not to avoid scrutiny, the law or due process. He can try to confuse democracy and demagoguery if he wishes: the enquiry into the £5 million continues.
