Theresa May broke her post-power silence today to declare she had a 'fantastic time' as prime minister and had no regrets from her political career.

The former leader, who was reduced to tears as she left Downing Street in July after being ousted by hardline Brexiteers, revealed she was thinking of penning her own version of events over the past three years.

A 'fantastic time' eh?

Much more than many of us had then.

The issue of the Irish border - and how to keep it free from border checks when it becomes the frontier between the UK and the EU - has been a key sticking point in Brexit negotiations.

The current government says the solution reached by the EU and Theresa May, the backstop, is unacceptable and an alternative to it must be found.

Everything hinges on the one thing neither side are prepared to give ground on.

Bojo I do not believe we will leave the EU on Oct 31st as your working majority is minus meaning you and the boys are just taking up space. Get this bloody election under way and if it means you shoot down the government do it.

It's the opposition who are preventing a general election. I was of the understanding you listened to the news down there.

Making the announcement, Mr Corbyn tweeted: "This #BlackHistoryMonth we're inspired by the struggles of black campaigners, including the first black MPs elected in 1987.

"Tomorrow one of those pioneering MPs, a child of the Windrush Generation, Diane Abbott, will be the first black person to represent their party at #PMQs."

Might have had more meaning/impact if a Jewish person had been selected.

Boris Johnson will set out details of his "final" negotiating offer to the EU on Wednesday in pursuit of a "fair and reasonable" Brexit compromise.

The prime minister will address the Tory conference before submitting new proposals, intended to form the legal text of a new Brexit deal, to Brussels.

Only by leaving the EU on 31 October can the UK "move on", he will argue.

Tory Chairman James Cleverly said the UK had been "flexible and pragmatic", and now the EU must be the same.

Hopefully the full details will be set out and we will finally see just what cannot be agreed on.

Yesterday I hear in the radio that Johnson is on a Tory political convention in Manchester, and had to go back to London if the House of Commons decided so.

So the brexit-backing Tories (or so they said) would meet just of all in the city that virtually invented capitalism, and which has recently been rebuilt with EU professional restoring help, and EU money.

That fact we are all aware of I was referring he should abstain from his own vote of no confidence in his own government after all Bojo keeps banging on about it. Fail that means he is chicken just like the wet paper bags of the opposition.

This bloody mess is thanks to Dave and Nick, the fix term parliament act is BS and making a mockery of democracy well I say democracy I no idea now what we have now.

That will only happen if the opposition call a vote of no confidence....every MP at the conference would have to return and the balance of the vote would probably be decided by those twenty odd who had the whip taken away from them.
