While the cat's away! May heads off on holiday to Wales leaving Tory rivals to fight to replace her but Cabinet contenders have urged her to STAY for months so she can 'wrap up Brexit'

Theresa May has fled to Wales this week to get a break from Brexit as Tory rivals to replace her step up their leadership campaigns. 

Cabinet ministers jostling for the top job have insisted the Prime Minister should not resign until the autumn even if her Brexit deal fails to get through Parliament.

Despite the desire to avoid an early contest - in fear it will help Boris Johnson - Home Secretary Sajid Javid will be first out of the gates today.

In a thinly veiled leadership bid, Mr Javid will make a wide-ranging speech that warns Britain 'cannot afford to leave behind'.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt - seen by many as the leading candidate inside the Cabinet - is on the world stage, visiting Japan for talks about Brexit.

Boris Johnson, the leading contender on the Tory Brexiteer wing, used his weekly Telegraph column to insist Brexit is settled to allow a new focus on the 'real priorities' facing Britain.
