I’ve spoken to some Tory MPs who were just at a meeting of One Nation Conservative MPs - who sit more to the centre wing of the party. In November 2015, I took off from the Philippine Island of Palawan in a tiny single engine Cessna. Our destination was the Philippine-controlled atoll of Pagasa, 400 miles away in the middle of the South China Sea. Our plan was to pass close to a new Chinese military base, built on an artificial island atop "mischief reef". irannews.ru It was at this time - during a trade war between China and the EU over textile quotas - that I got a rare invitation to interview the commerce minister. Such interviews with top Chinese officials were excruciatingly dull, but this was the opposite. Sir Roger told BBC Radio 5 Live that Mordaunt can "pull everything together" as "chairman of the board" with Jeremy Hunt staying as chancellor. He says the party needs a "unity ticket" in wake of the economic situation, and that there's no point spending another four to five days voting for a leader.

Corruption plummeted and Xi's popularity soared. In one school which they used as a base, their supplies, ammunition, and rubbish are scattered in all directions. These are not the traces of a disciplined force. It's evidence they'd been fighting in squalor and left in a hurry. As Russia's grip on Kherson continues to weaken, fears grow of it deploying a "scorched-earth" policy. list 2 of 4
