This dramatic week in politics could have ended on a tremendous high. It began so encouragingly, when Theresa May was at last able to announce that she had struck a deal with the EU, after thousands of hours of negotiations.
Businesses were exultant. Billions of pounds in investment funds, kept on hold while uncertainty prevailed, seemed about to be unleashed. The pound perked up and share prices rose.
All over the UK, people bored to tears by the Brexit debate – and anxious to get on with implementing the referendum result – breathed a heartfelt sigh of relief. Finally, substantial progress had been made.

True, Leavers and Remainers alike agreed the deal was very far from perfect. But wise heads accepted that as in all negotiations – never mind those involving the competing interests of 28 nations – compromise was inevitable.
Despite the opportunist posturing of the Labour hierarchy, it seemed a majority of MPs were ready to swallow their reservations, put their constituents’ interests first and back the deal.
But that was before the revolt by hardline Tory Brexiteers, who had spent the years since the referendum plotting among themselves and congratulating each other on their ideological purity.
With a peacock display of self-importance, seven resigned from the Government (though only two of them – Dominic Raab and Esther McVey – had fleetingly crossed the public’s radar), weeping crocodile tears for the pain they were causing Mrs May.
Meanwhile, their backbench guru Jacob Rees-Mogg viciously attacked the Prime Minister in the Commons, before calling a Press conference to drawl that he had lost confidence in her. He, like Labour, would be voting against the deal – and, what’s more, he would be joining colleagues in demanding a leadership election.
What he hopes to achieve is anyone’s guess. It’s easy to see what’s in it for Labour, as a successful plot to oust Mrs May could well precipitate an election.

This would offer Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell their dreamed-of chance to wreak economic destruction, confiscating private property and nationalising everything short of the air we breathe.
But what on Earth makes Mr Rees-Mogg and Co think a new occupant of No 10 could do better than Mrs May in forging a deal acceptable to both Parliament and the EU? The fact is their treachery puts any form of Brexit in jeopardy.
Indeed, you have only to contrast their ideology-driven disloyalty with Mrs May’s tireless, resilient and ever-courteous pursuit of the national interest – qualities that shine from the Mail’s interview today – to see who is more in touch with the real world.

The good news is that the saboteurs’ attempted coup d’etat already seems a damp squib. By late yesterday, there was still no sign they’d mustered the 48 letters needed to trigger a motion of no confidence in the Prime Minister – let alone the 166 supporters needed to carry it.
Meanwhile, prominent Brexiteers such as Michael Gove and Chris Grayling are standing by Mrs May, while Miss McVey’s Work and Pensions Department has passed seamlessly to the returning Amber Rudd. If Mr Rees-Mogg thought he had only to say the word and the heavens would fall in, he has cause to think again.
As for any Tory Leavers considering joining the rebellion, they should reflect that for all its faults – correctable over time – Mrs May’s deal charts a smooth exit from the monstrous bureaucracy of the EU.
Realistically, the only alternatives are the economic havoc of an abrupt and juddering exit – or no Brexit at all. Add the danger of installing Marxists in Downing Street, and are they really prepared to inflict such risks on the public?

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
