Give 12 months’ notice and walk away from EU

“That is a clean break from more than two decades of the privatised rip-off that has consigned Britain to the transport slow lane” - Mick Cash, general secretary of the RMT union, on Jeremy Corbyn’s pledge that a Labour government would renationalise the railways. “Many young people definitely want it easy; they want fame, but they don’t want to fight for it.

An against-the-odds outright Labour victory would have been the only result to bring about a realistic prospect of a reversal to the looming changes. It was worth a try ... and came close to succeeding.

Yes, Thelma’s leaflet did say a vote for her would was a vote to save Huddersfield A&E.

However, a common sense reading (as opposed to the
