The donor idea is very good. I thought the energy prices was u turned out of, but it seems to be brought back.

I'd agree with that, her coughing and spluttering was funny but other than as a metaphor I don't look down on a politician for being ill. I actually thought she made a decent joke (for a politician!) when Hammond gave her a lozenge and she said "the Chancellor is giving something away for free!".

Given this Government's treatment of the sick and disabled, she gets no pass from me!

Amazing, especially given they ran with a picture where the slogan is transformed into a criticism

That’s because the average Mail and Express reader can’t remember the previous articles.

Tory rebels prepared to confront Theresa May within three days and tell her to quit

Tory rebels have said that there is a "50/50" chance they will confront Theresa May in the next three days and demand that she steps down before the end of the year.

Ed Vaizey, a former minister, today became the first Tory MP to break ranks and said that "quite a few people are firmly of the view that she should resign" after her disastrous conference speech.

The Telegraph understands that the rebels, who have the support of around 30 Tory MPs, believe there is a "small window of opportunity" to force the Prime Minister out.

They say that if they can attract sufficient support they will confront the Prime Minister directly and tell her to go.

"It has to be all or nothing," one of the Tory MPs said. "We can't have a situation where a few go public with their criticism and the rest fade away. There is a small window of opportunity here, more people are coming forward."

On the other hand if someone unexpected could swoop in and completely reshuffle things, especially Davis and Johnson, it may end up getting things moving faster in the long run.

As it stands Brexit is heading towards no deal. Any new leader literally cannot do any worse.

It's beginning to irritate me all this nonsense. It's like a never ending merry-go-round of leadership contest, election, in-fighting, leadership contest...

Self-interested, self-obsessed, and in some cases outrageously lazy (Boris, Davis).

It feels like the country is in the exact same place it was post referendum, as the Tories are on the verge of having yet another "reboot".

She insisted she does not want "back doors" installed in encryption codes, something the industry has warned will weaken security for all users, nor did she want to ban encryption, just to allow easier access by police and the security services.
