Did you get duped by The Guardian’s ‘three-line’ Brexit farce? | The Canary

Here’s the gist:

The Guardian has taken this reality:

  • Labour MAY tell MPs to vote a certain way DEPENDENT on what’s in the bill.

And turned it into this:

  • Labour WILL tell MPs to vote a certain way REGARDLESS of what’s in the bill.

This Site was certainly led to believe in the ‘three-line whip’ story when it came out yesterday (January 19) – although I certainly thought something wasn’t right about it. You can tell by the way my words don’t actually mention The Guardian‘s claim – it only appears in the quoted extract.

I might have followed up but didn’t have the time (I had to prepare for a meeting of the Radnor Fringe Festival organising committee, of which I am secretary).

Kudos to The Canary and Aaron Bastani for picking up on this.

    Well it is something that post truth politics as enacted by nu labour and torylib tory governments is that using terminology like may might could perhaps means absolutely will when reported most remains took every phrase made by remains using these terms as absolute truth so it is nothing new.
