Sack time



Theresa May's final Number 10 interview

In an exclusive broadcast interview in Downing Street, the prime minister has told the BBC that she will leave the job with a "mixture of pride and disappointment".

Speaking to BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, Theresa May said that she didn’t "recognise" herself in the criticisms made of her during her time in the job. But she admitted that she had "underestimated" divisions in Parliament.


Maybe she kept them up too late.

Ministers are reportedly planning to issue guidance on how much sleep people should be getting every night.

The recommendations are expected as part of a series of proposals aimed at improving public health in the UK.

According to a leaked draft of the plans seen by The Times, up to three in four adults do not regularly get at least seven hours sleep per night.

If this is government business it is no wonder that ministers and MPs struggle with Brexit. The most dispiriting aspect is that the mind no longer boggles at such nonsense.

Do you remember those pictorial guides to washing your hands which appeared in workplace toilets? That started some time in the 1990s.

Ministers are thought to be working on a Green Paper on the benefits of inhalation and exhalation, but it's in the early stages yet.

Sam - that Green Paper should be interesting because exhalation releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Some kind of technical solution may be required.
