Daily Mail And Nigel Farage Angered By MPs Who Voted Against Brexit

The inevitable fall-out from the parliamentary vote paving the way for Brexit has started, with The Daily Mail accusing MPs who voted against legislation of “betrayal” and Nigel Farage labelling them “enemies of democracy”.

The European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill, which will allow Theresa May to start the Brexit process, cleared its first parliamentary hurdle by a vote in the Commons of 498 to 114.

Few MPs think they can stop the process, and instead want to mitigate ‘hard Brexit’ they fear will damage the UK.

Don't get mad about the Mail's use of the Philpotts to tarnish the poor – get even

The Daily Mail reminds me a little bit of climate change: you think you've got the measure of just how bad it is, but every time you look it's taken another appalling leap forward. Yesterday, following the conviction of the Philpotts for the manslaughter of their six children, it called Mick Philpott the "vile product of welfare UK". The cynicism, the lack of respect for the dead, the dehumanising terminology (he "bred" the children, it says); the front page alone told us all we need to know.
