Boris Johnson and Amber Rudd looked bored as they listened to the PM's crucial Brexit statement today - as they both failed to stifle big yawns.
Theresa May appeared in the Commons today to confirm to MPs that she is delaying the crunch vote on her Brexit deal to avoid a massive and humiliating defeat.
She announced the embarrassing U-turn and confirmed that she will be going on a tour of European capitals to try to squeeze more concessions out of the EU.
But two of her leadership rivals looked bored as they yawned deeply during her mammoth statement to MPs.
Mr Johnson, who quit as Foreign Secretary earlier this year in fury at the PM's Brexit deal, looked sleepy as he sat slumped in his spot on the backbench.

Amber Rudd, who is widely tipped as a leadership contender if Theresa May is ousted from power amid the Brexit chaos, also yawned while sat on the frontbench
While Ms Rudd, who made a dramatic return to the frontbench as Work and Pensions Secretary last month, also yawned deeply from her seat near Mrs May's.
The pair have both been tipped as top contenders if Mrs May is toppled as as Tory leader over the Brexit chaos.
Mr Johnson has spent the past week effectively laying out his pitch for the leadership by laying out his blueprint for the Brexit talks.
And he showed off a new, smarter haircut on TV yesterday in what was widely seen as a leadership makeover.
Mrs May faced a torrid few hours in the Commons this afternoon as she confirmed the vote on her Brexit deal could be delayed for six weeks.
The PM faced MPs after finally bowing to massive pressure to delay the crunch vote which had been due tomorrow.
She insisted her blueprint was still the 'best deal negotiable', and said she still planned to put it to a vote once 'reassurances' had been secured on the Irish border backstop - but implied that might not happen before January 21.

But she faced a barrage of attacks from all sides as Remainers and Brexiteers queued up to slam her deal.
The premier was also given an extraordinary dressing down by Speaker John Bercow who accused her of 'discourtesy' for abandoning the vote after four days of debate - urging her to show 'maturity' by giving MPs their say.
The Pound plunged further against the US dollar as markets took fright at the political carnage.
Amid a cacophony of taunts and barracking from MPs in the chamber, Mrs May said: 'While there is broad support for many of the key aspects of the deal on one issue – the Northern Ireland backstop – there remains widespread and deep concern.
'As a result, if we went ahead and held that vote that deal would be rejected by a significant margin.
'We will therefore defer the vote scheduled for tomorrow, and not proceed to divide the House at this time.'
Who could replace Theresa May? As Brexiteers move against the Prime Minister because of her deal 'betrayal' these are some of the leading contenders to take over
Theresa May looks certain to face a vote of no confidence after her Brexit deal was rejected out of hand by Eurosceptics.
If she loses the Tory Party will launch a leadership contest to replace her - a process that will likely take weeks with just months until Brexit Day.
These are some of the leading contenders to replace her:
Dominic Raab
How did they vote on Brexit?
Leave, with a second tier role campaigning for Vote Leave.
What is their view now?
Mr Raab was installed as Brexit Secretary to deliver the Chequers plan but sensationally resigned today saying the deal is not good enough.
What are their chances?
Being the first to resign from the Cabinet has put a rocket booster under Mr Raab's chances, fuelling his popularity among the hardline Brexiteers. May struggle to overcome bigger beasts and better known figures.
Odds: About 11-2

Boris Johnson
How did they vote on Brexit?
Led the Vote Leave campaign alongside Michael Gove.
What is their view now?
Hard line Brexiteer demanding a clean break from Brussels. The former foreign secretary is violently opposed to Theresa May's Chequers plan and a leading voice demanding a Canada-style trade deal.
What are their chances?
Rated as second favourite by the bookies, Mr Johnson's biggest challenge will be navigating the Tory leadership rules. He may be confident of winning a run-off among Tory members but must first be selected as one of the top two candidates by Conservative MPs.
Odds: 5/1

Sajid Javid
How did they vote on Brexit?
Remain but kept a low profile in the referendum.
What is their view now?
Pro delivering Brexit and sceptical of the soft Brexit options.
What are their chances?
Probably the leading candidate from inside the Cabinet after his dramatic promotion to Home Secretary. Mr Javid has set himself apart from Mrs May on a series of policies, notably immigration.
Favourite with several of the bookies at around 5/1.

Jeremy Hunt
How did they vote on Brexit?
Remain.
What is their view now?
The Foreign Secretary claims the EU Commission's 'arrogance' has made him a Brexiteer.
What are their chances?
Another top contender inside Cabinet, Mr Hunt's stock rose during his record-breaking stint at the Department of Health and won a major promotion to the Foreign Office after Mr Johnson's resignation. Widely seen as a safe pair of hands which could be an advantage if the contest comes suddenly.
Rated around 8/1 by the bookies.

David Davis
How did they vote on Brexit?
Leave.
What is their view now?
Leave and a supporter of scrapping Mrs May's plan and pursuing a Canada-style trade deal with the EU.
What are their chances?
The favoured choice of many hard Brexiteers. Seen as a safer pair of hands than Mr Johnson and across the detail of the current negotiation after two years as Brexit Secretary. He could be promoted a caretaker to see through Brexit before standing down.
Unlikely to be the choice of Remain supporters inside the Tory Party - and has been rejected by the Tory membership before, in the 2005 race against David Cameron.
Rated around 11/1 by the bookies.

Amber Rudd
How did they vote on Brexit?
Remain. Represented Britain Stronger in Europe in the TV debates.
What is their view now?
Strongly remain and supportive of a second referendum - particularly given a choice between that and no deal.
What are their chances?
Popular among Conservative MPs as the voice of Cameron-style Toryism, Ms Rudd is still seen as a contender despite resigning amid the Windrush scandal - and she was boosted further by her return to Cabinet as Work and Pensions Secretary on Friday night. She is badly hampered by having a tiny majority in her Hastings constituency and would not be able to unite the Tory party in a sudden contest over the Brexit negotiation.
Out to 50/1 among many bookies.

Penny Mordaunt
How did they vote on Brexit?
Leave
What is their view now?
Leave and subject of persistent rumour she could be the next to quit Cabinet over Mrs May's Brexit deal.
What are their chances?
Possible dark horse in the contest, Ms Mordaunt is not well known to the public but is seen as a contender in Westminster. She has been encouraged to join the Cabinet revolt over the Brexit deal and could resign within hours.
Bookies rate her around 16/1.

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.
