^I hear its up to 121 now but as you say jim that raging anti-semite steptoe would rather have tea with terrorist organisations. The once proud labour party now nothing more than a shadow of what is was.

Jeremy Hunt has urged Tory leadership rival Boris Johnson to "be straight with people" about what a no-deal Brexit would mean.

I would say that goes for both of you as both of you are clueless on what to do.

The first audience question on last nights Question Time was to ask if Chris Williamson should have been allowed back and all five of the panel said 'NO'

Theresa May 'looking forward to being backbench MP'

I wasn't aware she had any other choice if she wasn't going to quit like Dave and Tony did.

The suspects in the Salisbury Novichok attack should be "brought to justice" and Russia must stop its "destabilising activities", Theresa May has said.

The PM spoke to the BBC before she met Russia's President Putin at the G20 summit for one-to-one talks on Friday.

The UK believes two officers from Russia's military intelligence service, the GRU, were behind the poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, in March 2018.

Theresa May has refused to promise unconditional support for her successor's Brexit plan.

Asked if she would back whichever Brexit outcome the next prime minister achieves, including a no-deal Brexit, she said that amounted to agreeing to "whatever happens in future".

Jeremy Hunt or Boris Johnson will be announced as the winner of the Tory Party leadership race on 23 July.

Both men have said they would try to renegotiate a deal with the EU.

Speaking to journalists on her official flight to the G20 summit in Osaka, Mrs May said: "It is important that we deliver a Brexit that is good for the British people.

"It will be up to my successor to take this forward. To find the majority in Parliament that I was not able to find and to deliver the decision of the British people in 2016."

Should be interesting to see which of the two she will be backing.

French police were last night accused of cashing in on British holidaymakers ahead of Brexit by bombarding them with speeding tickets.

Gendarmes made 104,031 requests to the DVLA for details of drivers as the UK was due to leave the EU in March.

This is around two and a half times the 42,824 made the previous month, a Freedom of Information request shows. Just three requests were made in January.

Absolutely pathetic if true

^ not much sympathy from me since England does the same. London is scattered with video cams some weeks after visiting you suddenly get requests to pay for all kinds of (often made up) driving 'violations'. Objections not possible.

This is the most telling element for me.

Prime ministerial hopeful Jeremy Hunt has said he would consider withholding some of the UK's £39bn EU "divorce bill" in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

Both of them making empty threats, sorry pandering to the grass root Tories.

[Jimbuna]

I'd ask each of them the one simple question...."If as you state you are going to take the UK out of the EU even if a majority in Parliament for said measure can not be achieved, how exactly are you going to do this"?

Jeremy Corbyn has called for an inquiry after a newspaper reported two civil servants had said he was "too frail" to lead Labour or become PM.

The Times said it was briefed by two senior civil servants with suggestions the Labour leader may have to stand down over supposed health issues.

Mr Corbyn has called it "a farrago of nonsense" and "tittle tattle".

Never mind his health, I'd be questioning his sanity

Any MP that supports terrorist organisations is unfit to be a MP, how the heck steptoe got the job just shows the labour party has gone down a blind dark alley under him. And how the heck Parliament will not act just shows how corrupt and bloody minded they have become.

Steptoe has been given a blow from both LibDem leadership candidates on SKY debate, both will not work with steptoe if Labour wins a general election. This has now made it harder for steptoe as he will need to pass the magic line to form a government on his own. Both LibDems feel steptoe has taken Labour to the far left and on that I agree with them.
