Theresa May has lost 7 cabinet ministers in 12 months

12 months? Pffft, Jeremy Corbyn managed that in just 12 hours (or was it 12 minutes?).

On the flip side he didn’t lose a majority.

True, though it might have helped had he actually been good enough to secure one in the first place.

He inherited a minority from Milliband and increased the number of Labour MPs.

Theresa May lost a majority she inherited from Cameron.

Apparently Labour are going to vote down May's final deal. This should be fun.

The good news is Hunt is now away from strawberry floating up the NHS.

The bad news is he now represents us abroad. But I guess he is an (very slight) improvement on the previous Foreign Secretary.

Obviously. Corbyn is begging for a hard brexit.

The Sun has ‘requested’ their papers (front and back pages) no longer be featured in #tomorrowspaperstoday on Twitter, which is done by about 4 BBC employees (but is not part of the BBC news remit) every night. Their reasoning is they want people to visit the website instead and it to be tweeted from their own account. Very petulant.
