Philip Hammond – Removing May ‘will not help’ Brexit process
The Chancellor has taken to the TV studios once ahead of what was intended to be the UK’s final week inside the European Union. He needed up commenting on reports in several of this morning’s papers that the Cabinet was preparing to oust Theresa May and install a caretaker leader to see the next phase of Brexit through. Speaking to Sky’s Sophy Ridge, Hammond said the troublesome question is what, not who.

SR: Has the Prime Minister run out of road?
PH: No, I don’t think that’s the case at all. This is not about the Prime Minister or any other individual.
