Polly Toynbee is worth a hundred Daily Mail leader writes in her first sentence. It does help when the editor reports to a Trust rather than a politically orientated ownership.

Ray, the Scott Trust became a limited company several years ago and the Guardian is now more or less a corporate like the rest of them.
As for Polly Toynbee's piece, she's right to point up Labour's failure to take Brexit on, but for the wrong reasons. Labour need to target the economic idée fixe that's dominated the UK and the EU over the last Lord knows how many years, and show how they can knock those two monsters on the head at once.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Chairman of British Onions speaks out
In the endless news about Brexit there's been a recent scare that an onion shortage could mess up the essential British Cheese & Onion crisp supply.
"When I took the job representing British growers as chairman of British Onions, I imagined it would be the quietest of jobs. And all of a sudden it's the worst year in our history." (Tim Elcombe)
"We are living in very strange times, and they are likely to get a lot stranger before we bottom out"

WGS - true but the Grauniad doesn't have a politically motivated monster pulling its strings. As for Polly T, she's just trying (as ever) to find a path of reason between the failings on both sides.

As I understand it there are no onions or cheese in cheese and onion crisps. Just flavourings, yuk! I'll stick to ready salted.

At the beginning of the negotiations Mrs Merkel was at the forefront even though she is not even an MEP but hardly hear a word from her anymore even though Germany's economy is likely to take a big hit if there is no deal done between us and the EU.
