Royal Navy sailors held in US

    Six Royal Navy sailors were arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour just hours after  HMS Queen Elizabeth docked in Florida following its first transatlantic voyage. Three were also charged with resisting arrest and two were Tasered by local police officers amid claims that sailors were seen urinating from a pub balcony into the street, fighting each other and causing friction by not tipping enough.

Steve Baker, who quit as a Brexit minister in July, claims at least 80 MPs are prepared to vote down the Chequers plan in the Commons. It comes as ex-foreign secretary Boris Johnson moved on from describing the Chequers blueprint as a suicide vest to suggesting the UK should slash taxes after Brexit.
