Nobody does back-stabbing better than the Tories, but equally they know when to rally round and assert their grip on power.
Theresa May’s seemingly effortless rise to the highest office in the land, stepping over the bodies of her colleagues, will provide fascinating material for historians in years to come.

We’ll watch the progress on Brexit with interest. Will Brexit really mean Brexit? Or has she set her pro-Leave colleagues up to fail? We live in interesting times!
