Theresa May's fight to survive
Was broadcast from conference live;
She had a bad cough
The wall said F off
And May got a P45.#TheresaMay— Mick Twister (@twitmericks) October 4, 2017

BREAKING Michael Gove, the Environment secretary, tells me: "I witnessed a great speech from a Prime Minister at top of her game."

Never a more honest word spoken, Michael. Even by you.

BBC subtitlers are a tough bunch.
