    Chris Bryant is saying that the Brexit vote was the cause of the attempted coup in Turkey. You couldn't make it up.

    I haven't got an axe to grind here but I think you can make a link and see it as something that is a symptom if not the main cause.
    Turkey have an Islamist leaning President who is pushing the country away from what we in Western, secular Europe are comfortable with.
    That is reflected in the UK and is one of the factors influential in the brexit vote.
    This highlights further the problems Turkey faces in getting into the EU therefore harming them economically.
    Consequently the secular leaning military decide to act.
    I'm not saying these are major reasons but they are indicators.

    BFC supporting Tories, you couldn't make that up either. But they're out there. :D

    Corbyn and his mates are like a virus. The best we can hope for now is that Theresa lives up to her mission statement. Much as there is to like about Dan Jarvis, I'd not be voting for him while he accepts Corbyn as nominal "leader".
