Here we see a far more significant cause of Brexit than Facebook manipulation : a Communist in charge of the Labour party building up a power base, who's fine with working with Russia for some reason. He really is the other side of the same coin as Donald Trump.

Owen Smith says he "stood by his principles" in calling for another EU referendum - a move which resulted in his sacking from Labour's shadow cabinet. The former shadow Northern Ireland secretary said Jeremy Corbyn had made a "mistake" in firing him. He also said the party should "shift its position" on Brexit.

Referring to Mr Corbyn's views on Brexit as "a more Eurosceptic position", he added: "It's the first instance that I can think of in living memory of a government pursuing a policy that they know is going to make our economy smaller and reduce people's livelihoods and life chances and I cannot understand why we in Labour would support that."

Party figures have criticised Mr Corbyn's decision to sack Mr Smith, with Labour peer Peter Hain describing the dismissal as a "Stalinist purge".

Smith was lovely and boring and exactly the sort of level-headed person we needed in politics right now. Instead we're stuck with a hotheaded clown.
