British Isis hostage John Cantlie is believed to be alive more than six years after being captured, the security minister has said.
The war photographer was kidnapped alongside James Foley in 2012, and was later forced to appear in a series of propaganda videos and magazines.
Ben Wallace told US journalists that Mr Cantlie is believed to still be alive as a prisoner of the terrorist group, but would give no further details.

@MarqueeMark FPT - a three way referendum wouldn't allow remain on less than half of the vote, that's the whole point. Methinks a thread on AV or twenty might be in order!
And on topic May is learning what defending the status quo looks like and how hard it is, when opponents can say anything without accountability. 48% looking pretty good in context.0 -
They should get a proper out and out Leaver in charge of it, at least people would know where they stood.

I mean it is a very humiliating red button to hit for May which would result in the current Tory fissures erupting into an earthquake, so I'd imagine she'd hit it quite late in the day.

Last week’s votes suggested that May couldn’t rely on backbench rebels and the opposition to do her unpopular work for her - I’m sure an extension would be backed if proposed by the government, but it’s looking increasingly like that’s the only way. The reluctance of Tory rebels (and a double-digit number of their own MPs) to vote with Labour seems to make anything else impossible. On balance I think that May would go for an extension to stave off chaos, but I’m increasingly nervous she’ll carry on playing chicken and miscalculate the time available. What makes you confident that she will do it?TOPPING said:

At that point I think they would be quite accommodating, short of amending all of a sudden the WA. I can't for the life of me think what she would say but we have come this far and hence an extra few months is neither here nor there in the great scheme of things.Pulpstar said:

While I'm in caps lock mode, I note KLOBUCHAR is still at similar odds to Tulsi Gabbard (around 20/1).
As Gabbard ought to be nearer 200/1, this makes little sense to me.

She says the Irish government has suggested annual meetings, where both PMs and their ministers could come together to discuss issues.
May floats the prospect of the UK and Ireland staging a joint World Cup bid for 2030, provided the two respective football associations approve the idea.'
Did she really say this? And isn't she aware that the Scots and Welsh have FA'd off already?0 -

From the words she used, as reported, I think she thought it was her idea. But you think more highly of her than I do, so may be giving her the benefit of the doubt which I would not.Big_G_NorthWales said:

More vacuous nonsense from May ,
She really becomes more deluded by the day . A backstop with a time limit isn’t a backstop . The EU need to tell her to take a hike .
