Following days of bluster and misinformation, the Deputy Prime Minister finally resigned when a report by the Government’s sleaze watchdog found she had broken the Ministerial Code by failing to ensure she paid the right tax on an £800,000 seaside apartment.
In a handwritten letter, Sir Keir hailed her as the ‘living embodiment of social mobility’ and told her he was ‘very sad to be losing you’.Despite her forced resignation for dodging tax the PM also hinted at a possible future comeback, telling her: ‘You will remain a major figure in our party.’
...and the jury's surely still out on that one, with the damage he's already done to it, and the prospect of a Muslim as Home Secretary, and a failed Mastermind contestant as replacement Deputy Leader.

House of Lords need more BO caused by a prominent Neanderthal gene (gingers, you see). Send her there.
