What the papers say: Trump is good news for Britain

Jeremy Corbyn might be ‘on a high’ but he shouldn’t be allowed to forget his party’s ‘highly inconsistent, profoundly confusing’ position on the issue of the day: Brexit. Labour’s stance became yet more tangled yesterday, says the Daily Telegraph, with Keir Starmer saying the party wanted to keep Britain in the single market – ‘only 10 days ago Jeremy Corbyn said the opposite,’ points out the paper. It’s time for the Tories to take the fight to Labour, says the Telegraph, which argues that while ‘young voters, have been motivated and energised’ by Corbyn this doesn’t mean they should be allowed to get away with such a contrary position on Brexit. And nor should it be conceded by the Tories that the ‘age-old clash of political ideologies – socialism versus capitalism – has been definitively won’ by a resurgent Labour party. Instead, it’s vital the Government finally does what it failed to do during the general election: ‘make the case for wealth creation and free markets’.
