"Decisive steps forward" have been made in the latest round of UK-EU talks, Brexit Secretary David Davis has said.

But EU negotiator Michel Barnier said there were still "big gaps" between the sides on some of the withdrawal issues.

Anti-Islam campaigner Anne Marie Waters is favourite at the bookmakers to take the crown.
But many of the party's 20 MEPs have threatened to resign if that happens, with one telling the BBC it would take UKIP "down a very dark alley".

That bloody mess costed millions to set up. The master plan is to get rid of the benefit system outright, looks like its going well and on plan for the end by 2030 I would say.

Interest rates could rise in the "relatively near term" the Governor of the Bank of England has told the BBC.
In the clearest indication yet that there could be a rate rise as early as November, Mark Carney suggested that it was time for the bank to "ease its foot off the accelerator".
The next opportunity for a change in interest rates is the Bank's monetary policy committee meeting on 2 November.

I think it's becoming pretty obvious that the Tories are going to have to splinter. There are too many factions for their traditional "broad church" approach to work.
