Theresa May is to snub her former Chancellor Philip Hammond by leaving him off her resignation honours list.

The former prime minister is finalising the names on her list, which is expected to see several senior members of her staff elevated to the House of Lords. She is also considering handing honours to some of her closest political allies.

As one of her most senior and longest serving ministers, Mr Hammond – a former foreign secretary and defence secretary – would have been eligible for an honour.

But in a sign of how their relationship soured during her time in office, he is understood to have missed out entirely.

All outgoing PM's usually have the last laugh and slice of that pie they call 'revenge'.

Another day shacking the magic money tree and still no one but us are asking where the heck is all this money coming from Bojo? You would expect this sort of thing from Labour going on a spending spree, alarm bells are going off full blast falling on deaf ears.

Oh by the way I see GP waiting times are in the news oh I wish I could get in in three weeks. Four to five weeks wait around here so Bojo what is the plan to sort this out? Don't tell me shack the magic money tree.

The UK Labour Party deputy leader Tom Watson has spoken out against a second Scottish independence referendum.

It follows comments by shadow chancellor John McDonnell that a future Labour government would not block another vote.

Mr Watson said another referendum "is not the answer" to Tory austerity and Brexit.

He added that he fully endorsed the position of Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard.

Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds have been photographed together at an official reception in Number 10 Downing Street.

The Prime Minister, who has been in post since July 24, was photographed with his partner at an event to honour staff from six hospices.

Not unexpected but I should imagine this will liven the place up

Tory MP accidentally reveals ‘General Election 2019’ email.

A senior Conservative MP has fuelled expectation that Boris Johnson is planning for an autumn general election with an email reading “GE 2019”.

Damian Hinds – the education secretary until last month – accidentally let slip the existence of a “GE team” in the message posted on his Instagram account.

Apparently sent by an aide, the snapshot of the email has a subject line reading: “Re (2): GE 2019 GE team thoughts”.

I think it only a matter of time before further leaks will inform us whether a planned general election will happen before or after 31st October.

My money would be on after.

When PM announces general election day, what happens with the existing Parliament? Does it remain functional until new MPs takeover, or does it dissolve sometime before election day? Just wondering if BoJo could use this to keep dissenting MPs out of the way at and around October 31st.

Parliament would be dissolved 25 days before the election date.

People people people listen to the wise words of STEED, look this trade deal with America about food standards relax. You do not have to buy American food you are not being forced so chill out and relax. Come on people is America sticking a gun at your head saying buy American? No so stop getting worked up over it.

Food is not the primary concern.....US firms entering our health care services are.

Trump just bullied the EU to buy vast amounts of soy beans no one needs or wants here, to make up for his chinese tariff losses.
