By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor After David Cameron stepped down after a resounding defeat in the EU referendum many assume that the Chancellor will now have to leave his position as Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Thursday. How on Earth is it not Saturday yet? Having been up marking some of my 250-plus books till the wee small hours, I wake up taking a few seconds to recall what day it is. I’m off on a course, which adds 90 minutes to my travelling time and I have to sort out cover lessons too. This, for the uninitiated, is the Twilight Zone.

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Two of the main pledges to win over the electorate, by the Leave campaign, have been rowed back on. During the EU campaign reducing immigration and funding the NHS were key messages that chimed with a huge amount of voters, especially first time voters. However, only a day after the Leave victory it has been admitted that immigration levels may well remain the same and the NHS will probably not receive the £350 a week...
