  • Exclusive: A former senior Home Office official tells Business Insider that Theresa May personally intervened to ensure the controversial "go home or face arrest" immigration vans were "toughened up".
  • The source rubbishes claims by May's former chief of staff Nick Timothy that May had actually been opposed to their use and that they had been approved without her knowledge.
  • "The Home Secretary [was] spoken to on holiday in Switzerland and the wording was slightly changed. It had been toughened up slightly."
  • Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn calls on Theresa May to apologise following BI's story.
  • Timothy deletes his Twitter account.
 
Theresa May gave a speech today in which she bemoaned the rise of populism, rancour in politics and lack of cross-party cooperation:


Oh my aching sides.
We are used to Tories not being in touch, but not being in touch with themselves you could not make it up...
 


What is this, is it like sending an email to one of your directors once you're literally half-way out of the door for six weeks off and saying 'oh, and there' s all this stuff that needs sorting, bye... '?
 
I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank all GOT Tory voters for giving us two of the worst prime ministers in living memory and you are about to top it off with the very worst.

Without your well considered votes we might have ended up with something approaching a cohesive society.

Strong and stable my hoop

If you believe these people would improve anything then it’s just as well that I vote as I do.....
