Tony Benn's horrifying no deal Brexit warning exposed as Frost and Barnier reach stalemate
EU's sinister masterplan laid out in Tony Benn speech: 'They're building an empire!'
@DAaronovitch Tony Benn often remarked on how important it was for us on the left to “say what you mean, and mean what you say”. I’m disappointed that Tony Greenstein should pay so little heed to this wise advice.

RIP Tony Benn. He left a secret memorial to Emily Davison in one of parliament's broom cupboards (via @FeministPics )
That time Jeremy Corbyn and Tony Benn were stopped by a police officer as they sneaked into Parliament late at night:
If there are indeed Labour MPs planning to split from a party they owe everything to (and in doing so split the anti-Tory vote), this from Tony Benn in the 1980s is instructive.
Tony Blair, Peter Mandelson, Lord Adonis, Keir Starmer, Tom Watson, Neil Kinnock, Hilary Benn, Yvette Cooper? Your boys are going to get a hell of a beating today. And it couldn’t happen to a less lovely bunch #Brexit
