When's the cat's away the mice will play.

A document - leaked to the Telegraph and circulating among Tory MPs - says Theresa May will be asked to resign as UK Prime Minister in May.

And it includes a list of possible replacements - with their pros and cons.

David Davis, it reads, is making his move "too late".

Liam Fox's career is "fading".

Jeremy Hunt remains a "Dark horse."

Boris Johnson is "the bookies favourite", it says, "but the front-runner never wins."

The merciless memo was reportedly written back in April but has only resurfaced now.
