Brexit leader Farage threatens violence in the streets

How very like the Trump he so admires, and who so admires him.

Make no mistake: these are threats, not warnings.

Jeremy Corbyn forced to clarify Labour will not block the triggering of Article 50

Brexiters won by a hair in a single, foolish referendum.

A single, one-time vote by a simple popular majority is to make the most momentous constitutional and political decision for the UK since The Second World War.

The Framers of the American Constitiution would have absolutely flipped out at such a ludicrous and terrifying idea.

And many Brits feel the same way.

The Brexiters rightly fear a second referendum.

But Corbyn and the anti-Brexit politicians don't have the political courage to take advantage of the opportunity presented by the court decision that Theresa May cannot trigger Article 50 on her own, and must allow Parliament to decide what to do about Brexit and how to move ahead.

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Mr Corbyn said Labour would vote against Mrs May unless she adopted the "Brexit bottom lines".

He said: "These must be the basis of the negotiations. And it doesn't necessarily cause a delay.

"The court has thrown a big spanner in the works by saying Parliament must be consulted. We accept the result of the referendum.

"We are not challenging the referendum. We are not calling for a second referendum. We're calling for market access for British industry to Europe."

Mrs May has issued a stern warning to MPs and peers who "regret the referendum result" that said that they "need to accept what the people decided".

Nigel Farage, the Ukip leader, warned this morning that any attempts to overturn the results of the referendum risked "political anger the likes of which none of us in our lifetimes have ever witnessed".

He told the BBC's Andrew Marr show: "We may have seen Bob Geldof and 40,000 people in Parliament Square moaning about Brexit," he said. 

"But believe you me if people in this country think that they're going to be cheated, they're going to be betrayed, then we will see political anger the likes of which none of us in our lifetimes have ever witnessed in this country.

"The temperature of this is very, very high. I'm going to say to everybody watching this who was on the Brexit side, let's try and get even, let's have peaceful protest and let's make sure in any form of election we don't support people who want to overturn this process."

Asked whether that could mean "disturbances in the street", he replied: "Yeah, I think that's right."
