David Cameron launched a highly personal attack on the labour leader Jeremy Corbyn during Wednesdays PMQs (Prime minsters questions) He told  Corbyn to smarten up his appearance, saying his mother would advise the Labour leader to “put on a proper suit, do up your tie and sing the national anthem”. The prime ministers comments came after a Labour MP shouted out in the Commons chamber that Mary Cameron should be asked about the NHS after she signed a petition opposing cuts to children’s centres.

S&P had already thrown the country into the junk bin and just six days after our warning, Fitch followed suit.

Between the country's seemingly intractable political crisis and worsening public finances, the outlook is exceptionally dire and just moments ago, Moody's cut Brazil to junk as well.
