THERESA MAY entered the referendum campaign totally committed to Britain remaining in the European Union.
She was then and is now a politician who puts the corporate interests of big business, into whose top ranks she is wedded, above the desires and needs of working people.
Big business, the banks, almost all of the City — save a minority of hedge fund speculators — the top Civil Service, military, intelligence and Foreign Office bigwigs, the liberal press and broadcast media have bent their backs to find a way to subvert the most decisive vote of the British people since Labour won the post-war election.
