Mays abusive top staff removed as recriminations grow over poll failure

5. At the moment, I'm wishing some of the Labour shadow cabinet would hold their fire,

STFU and let the Tory disarray play out.

I was livid to hear John McDonnell choose this moment this morning - when there are no more votes to be courted - to reiterate that Labour is committed to leaving the single market because that's the "democratic will".

It's exasperating.

Those were NOT the terms on which the brexit vote was held, and we were assured repeatedly by Leave representatives (including in parliamentary committee) that it wasn't on the cards, so wasn't even worth discussing.

And this while cracks are appearing in the Tory hard line on this very issue. I'm not encouraged, for the first time in days.
