"oh, yes, he did," say tories. 0n the front page of the daily mail — "read our lips mr corbyn — you're a liar". experts tell the paper that the shape formed by his lips could not possibly be "stupid people", as the labour leader claims. the i calls it "panto politics," and meanwhile, the eu is warning that a no—deal brexit will disrupt air travel and leave brits abroad living with uncertainty. the guardian says parliament descended into chaos today. it also claims that rebellious ministers believe theresa may will be forced to b
