Westminster wars...

LIP readers worked overtime when donald Trump whispered in Theresa May’s ear as they walked up the steps to Blenheim Palace after he’d given an interview saying Boris would make a great PM and her Chequers plan would kill off any U.S. trade deal. Maybe he was just warning her not to read the papers the next day.

AT THE Chequers summit last Friday, Mrs May rallied her disenchanted troops by referring to the England World Cup squad and saying: ‘We have seen what happens when a team is united and gets behind their leader.’ Yes, dear, we lost.

THE PM denies she cleared her Brexit deal with angela Merkel before putting it to the Cabinet. yet clearly there was a little sisterly fashion collusion as the two turned up this week in almost identical outfits — twin navy suits — for the Nato summit.
