Brexit: Boris Johnson 'back-seat driving' over Brexit, says Rudd

Any power struggle by Boris could result in a king without a country to rule. Boris could topple May but if he fails to deliver the NHS promise will see old Jezer in power.

George Osborne has been accused of "bitterness and bile" over his attacks on Theresa May.
Conservative backbencher Jacob Rees-Mogg hit out at the former chancellor, who is now editor of the London Evening Standard, a position he has used to launch a series of blistering attacks on the Prime Minister.

Claims that Mr Osborne, who was unceremoniously sacked by Mrs May when she took office last year, is pursuing a vendetta against the PM have been further fuelled by a recent magazine profile.
The Esquire piece said Mr Osborne is reported to have told colleagues he will not rest until Mrs May is "chopped up in bags in my freezer".

Just a very bitter power crazy slug who got slung out of Mrs May garden. I find the slug laughable these days making a fool of himself.

Theresa May's speech on Brexit in Italy on Friday will represent an "open and generous offer" to the rest of the EU, a cabinet minister has told the BBC.
It is thought that might include a guarantee that no EU country would lose out from changes to the EU's current budget as a result of the UK leaving.
But another minister warned against offering too much money, saying "it's our only leverage".
Mrs May is briefing her cabinet on Thursday morning about the speech.

This speech could well be intersting :hmmm:

Looks like SLab is going to swing left and align with Corbyn - that's all the major unions swung in behind Leonard:

Sarwar's toast, for all intents and purposes - it turns out that the family company wasn't paying it's staff the minimum wage. That killed any support from the Unions. He's also too closely associated with the Blair period.
