What the papers say: Labour’s ‘new low’, ‘meddling’ EU courts & ‘Merry Brexmas’

The hunt continues for the man thought to be responsible for the attack on Berlin’s Christmas market. But despite the urgency of the situation, the Sun says Germany – and the EU – continue to get their priorities all wrong. After all, the paper says, their ‘first duty’ should be keeping ‘their people safe’. Instead, the Sun says, they have released a photo of the wanted man with his eyes censored to protect his privacy. And the European Court isn’t doing much more to help keep people safe, according to the paper. Its ruling against the so-called ‘snoopers’ charter’ yesterday means that security services will lose out on a vital weapon in the fight against terror. The Sun concludes by saying that at least we won’t have to worry about such court rulings for much longer: Brexit will ‘liberate’ Britain from the ‘meddling of a court in Luxembourg’, the paper says – allowing MI5 and GCHQ to finally stay one step ahead of the terrorists.
