But soon the newly mobilized May team will need to deliver. The first major challenge will be economic policy and the Autumn Budget Statement is eagerly awaited. Philip Hammond is expected to bury austerity and seize upon large scale public investment. But the real focus will be on the Brexit negotiations and whether it’s a hard or soft Brexit – it’s still too early to read.

Parker claims that the Cameroons are being supportive, claiming that Theresa May is building on their successes. With Labour completely in the wilderness, the Tories need to resist fighting openly between competing factions.

Too often journalists, editors and newspaper owners are introducing their own bias to further their own interests. This short report is alarming and easy to read – please read it.

By reading the parliamentary report, we are getting a factual and honest representation of the truth – for some of us the truth still matters. Whilst it is challenging to stop these disgusting practices in remote third-world countries, they must surely be stopped in the UK and the rest of the EU?
