The race to become Tory Leader is ramping up, and the remaining five hopefuls have their allies banging that metaphorical drum at every opportunity.
Former Brexit Secretary David Davis shared his unqualified support for bookies’ favourite Penny Mordaunt, while looking rather more casual than we’re used to, having just returned to the House after dental treatment.

So I said to her "well you did pretty well out of this marriage too, Barbara. The money, the house, you can leave that any time you want." So, do you want an other white wine? https://t.co/xL2E8gwXgJ
