As the ‘meaningful vote’ approaches, apply buckets of salt to all Government news

Scepticism is always a healthy attitude – but the spin being pumped out this weekend merits even more than normal.

What the London Mayoral selection short-list tells us. And what the successful candidate should do.

Kieron O’Hara: An unloved Prime Minister. An inadequate Foreign Secretary. And a hamstrung Trade Secretary. What a Brexit mess.
