Larry the Downing Street cat was an early frontrunner to replace Mrs May.

Then there were the inevitable Uri Geller jokes after the magician wrote a bizarre letter suggesting he would use telepathy to stop Brexit.
If the rumours are true and Theresa May is facing a cabinet coup tonight, I think we all need to be very careful ab… https://t.co/t9YzZwCFqO— Declan Lawn (@Declan Lawn) 1553379340
