David Davis resignation letter in full – read Tory’s devastating rant against being a ‘conscript’ of soft Brexit
"Dear Prime Minister "As you know there have been a significant number of occasions in the last year or so on which I have disagreed with the Number 10 policy line, ranging from accepting the Commission's sequencing of negotiations through to the language on Northern Ireland in the December Joint Report. "At each stage I have accepted collective responsibility because it is part of my task to find workable compromises, and because I considered it was still possible to deliver on the mandate of the referendum, and on our manifesto commitment to leave the Customs Union and the Single Market. "I am afraid that I think the current trend of policy and tactics is making that look less and less likely. "Whether it is the progressive dilution of what I thought was a firm Chequers agreement in February on right to diverge, or the unnecessary delays of the start of the White Paper, or the presentation of a backstop proposal that omitted the strict conditions that I requested and believed … [Read more...] about David Davis resignation letter in full – read Tory’s devastating rant against being a ‘conscript’ of soft Brexit
Theresa May fighting for survival as resigning David Davis slams her ‘dangerous’ plan and Tory MPs battle over Brexit ‘s***show’
Theresa May has been left fighting for survival after a second minister joined the Brexit Secretary and quit her government.

Mr Davis, replaced by Brexiteer Housing Minister Dominic Raab, was followed out the door by Brexit minister Steve Baker as MPs rounded on her plan - with one calling the situation a "s*** show". The Prime Minister will address the Commons from 3.30pm and a meeting of Tory MPs where she will be fighting for her political life.

Dominic Raab has been made the new Brexit Secretary after last night's resignation of David Davis sent shockwaves through British politics.

Mr Davis quit just before midnight slamming Mrs May's "dangerous" Brexit strategy for giving too much ground to the EU and warning he would not be a "reluctant conscript". He quit after the PM used a summit at Chequers to agree a major shift to soft Brexit , promising a "common rulebook" with Brussels on goods imported to the UK. Boxer and karate black belt Mr Raab, 44, a Leave voter, has rocketed through government since being elected the Tory MP for Esher and Walton in 2010.

Victoria Beckham spends daughter day with Harper before David tells her she’s ‘getting old’
Victoria Beckham enjoyed a cute daughter day with Harper Seven – before her husband David joked about her "getting old” in a very cheeky quip. The 48-year-old fashion designer took to Instagram to share a snap of her and Harper wearing matching aprons as they visited a candle making shop. “Will this trend catch on? Nice apron,” said the doting mum who appeared to be revelling in the quality mother-daughter time in Miami. The pair posed in front of a wall of candles in their matching white outfits as Harper broke up the attire with a bright pair of gold trainers. Clearly not a fan of the mandatory aprons, Victoria said that staff forced them to wear them.

Reissue of the month: Brian Eno and David Byrne, My Life In the Bush of Ghosts
I n the late Seventies, Brian Eno began to work as producer and motivational guru with Talking Heads but soon became virtually the fifth member of the band. This collaboration is perhaps the best of what he achieved during that intense, exciting period when the can-do aesthetic of punk combined with emerging technologies to enable the creation of a new kind of music. The album takes its title from a novel by Nigerian writer Amos Tutola, and what differentiates it most obviously from the Heads sound is that David Byrne doesn't sing on it. He is present all right, in so many interesting ways, but never in voice. In fact, there are no real singers at all: merely an assemblage of sampled and taped voices, displaced spirits adrift in this particular bush of ghosts. When the album was released, in February 1981, it sounded like very little that had gone before. There were antecedents - Holger Czukay's wonderful song 'Persian Love', with its radio samples, from his album Movies … [Read more...] about Reissue of the month: Brian Eno and David Byrne, My Life In the Bush of Ghosts
