We cannot succumb to No Deal

CAMPAIGNER Gina Miller is no stranger to threats since she started taking on the Government.

But a crowdfunding page to pay a contract killer £10,000 to assassinate her is outrageous, even by the standards of the lowlife she puts up with.

For Ms Miller, death threats are a way of life. And as a mirror of the kind of society Brexit has made Britain become, we should be sad and angry in equal measure. The divisions caused by the 2016 referendum will take years to heal, even if Brexit is sorted tomorrow.

No wonder leavers and remainers alike wish it had never happened.

But we cannot turn back the clock. What we did not know in 2016, but do now, is how perilous crashing out without a deal would be.

Yet no matter how unlikely it may seem, there is still no guarantee that won’t happen on Thursday.

It is why Jeremy Corbyn is right to resist a General Election until stopping that outcome is absolutely watertight.

If Boris Johnson could be trusted, we might take his word he wants a deal. But he can’t, so we daren’t. We are all heartily sick of Brexit but we must not capitulate through exhaustion.

It would be like saying in 1944 we couldn’t be bothered with D-Day because the Second World War was getting tiresome.

THE Sunday Mirror is the newspaper which champions mental health awareness.

So we are fully behind Suicide Prevention minister Nadine Dorries in her £1million drive to help the bereaved after loved ones kill themselves.

Numbers are climbing, and with nearly one in 10 of those touched by suicide going on to make an attempt on their own life, this initiative comes none to soon.

The ripples of such tragedies spread out over a pool of despair that needs specialist treatment.

And as someone who has suffered the agony of her childhood soulmate taking his own life, Ms Dorries knows what she is talking about.

But £1million seems a small sum. So we hope Ms Dorries gets all the funding she needs to ensure this project is a success.

The cost of bringing comfort to the traumatised should have no price.
