Unite! Let us determine Britain’s future together
WE live in extraordinary times in which we have a paralysed Government and a disintegrating Opposition.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and PM David Cameron have had a torrid time throughout the referendum
With David Cameron reduced to the role of temporary caretaker and Jeremy Corbyn humiliated by his Shadow Cabinet, cynics might well conclude that with two political leaders sidelined the country is in safer hands.
But Britain needs resolute men and women to quickly band together with a joint purpose that will give confidence to the City, bring harmony to the people and show the leaders of the EU that we mean business.
During the early days of the war, when Britain and the Commonwealth stood almost alone to fight for the freedom of Europe, we formed a government of national unity with Churchill as its inspiring figurehead and the boldest and best from political and business life at its core.
Today, with Britain negotiating its own liberty from the European Union, we need smart leaders and wise counsel who understand that after Thursday the game has changed for ever.
We need a government of differing shades united in one goal: delivering the new deal.
That means enlisting experienced business people to advise on the negotiations, because they are too important to be left to the Sir Humphreys of Whitehall.

Tony Blair says that UK should not rule out a second referendum
Silence those noises off
THEY just don’t get it, do they? Tony Blair – probably the most despised politician since Oliver Cromwell – says Britain should not rule out a second referendum.
In Scotland Nicola Sturgeon threatens to block the will of 17.4million Britons by somehow vetoing last Thursday’s result.
In London Labour MP David Lammy says MPs should vote to stay in the EU.
In Brussels the president of the European Parliament says it is scandalous that Britain is “taking the whole continent hostage” by delaying the day we set the Brexit clock running.
In Paris the French foreign minister accuses Britain of not being respectful.
To all of them, we have one succinct message: when we want your advice, we’ll ask for it. Until then, and most respectfully, belt up!

The historic tennis tournament Wimbledon begins today
It is time for ‘love all’
STAND by for endless arguing about whether it was in or out. No, not the EU – thank goodness wonderful Wimbledon starts today.
It is the perfect opportunity to put politics aside for a while and for everyone to back the same winner – Andy Murray
