Frosty moment May met Saudi pariah prince

THERESA May kept a frosty distance when she sat down with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the G20 leaders’ summit in Argentina yesterday.

The Prime Minister looked stern-faced before telling the prince there needed to be “full transparency about exactly what happened” to murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in

Istanbul two months ago.

And next week Mrs May will use her strongest language yet over Brexit when she will accuse MPS trying to block her EU deal of betraying their country.

The PM will say on Tuesday that if she does not get her way Brexit will be delayed or scrapped altogether.

Duty

Although the PM’S words will be aimed at Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party they are also intended for the 100 Tories and 10 DUP MPS who say they will vote against her.

A No10 insider said:“mps must get behind it and support this in the national interest. They have a duty to deliver the referendum result.” Mrs May yesterday lost her 10th minister to the Brexit bloodbath while gaining the public backing of another.

Science and Universities Minister Sam Gyimah quit after Mrs May pulled the UK out of the EU’S Galileo sat-nav system following a bust-up with Brussels.

But Culture Secretary Jeremy Wright came out to bat for Mrs May, saying MPS were risking no deal.

A Yougov poll for People’s Vote showed 55 per cent of voters now want to stay in the EU once “don’t-knows” are stripped out.
