Cull the cranks
IF anyone believed the far-Left extremists had been driven out of Labour with Marxist muppet Jeremy Corbyn, they should think again.
They are still there, however much Keir Starmer might wish they would keep silent.

And they just can’t help betraying themselves from time to time by spouting their warped views, as arch-Corbynista Diane Abbott has done.
Abbott has been suspended from Labour pending an “investigation” into her assertion that Jewish people don’t suffer racism.
But how much investigating does it need?
Starmer should tell her in no uncertain terms that she won’t be a Labour candidate next year and that she is free to join Corbyn’s party of anti-semitic cranks when he sets one up.
And while he is at it, Sir Keir should muster the courage to defenestrate Richard Burgon, John McDonnell, Zarah Sultana and a dozen or so other extremists who still infest the party.
He has got nothing to lose and everything to gain . . . so long as voters forget just how happy he was, until recently, to fight alongside the extremists trying to install Corbyn and his crackpot ideology in 10 Downing Street.
Don’t wimp out
TORY rebels squeamish about taking on the European Court of Human Rights should worry more about the wishes of the British people and less about the wishes of unelected judges in Strasbourg.
The Illegal Migration Bill, which returns to the Commons this week, will not offer Home Secretary Suella Braverman “carte blanche” to disobey ECHR rulings.

It will, sensibly, give her the power to ignore last-minute injunctions aimed at preventing the deportation of migrants to safe countries like Rwanda when our own courts have given the go-ahead.
Other European countries happily ignore the ECHR and Britain has done so before.
Doing so again in these circumstances would be a decent compromise, short of leaving the human rights convention altogether.
But, make no mistake, if the ECHR continues to try to stop Britain controlling its borders, leaving it must be an option.
Mixed message
SO we managed to survive getting — or in many cases not getting — a government alert on our phones.
New Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden denied the siren test was yet another example of the nanny state.
It’s just a shame he was let down by the release of a 21-page Government edict telling us how to watch the Coronation without getting a bit chilly or suffering sore feet.
