So Iain Duncan Smith wants Theresa May to suffer the same fate as he did: having to choose between resignation or being fired by the men in suits. Feeble politician sees no irony in this, I guess!

Something to be pleased by about from the European elections result: LibDems plus Greens got more votes than the Brexit Party, and Brexit Party wouldn't win a general election with 31% of the vote (which in any case, declines for a general election)
