The Paper suggests it's likely The Report 's findings will be adopted by her successor in an attempt to win over younger voters.

The Tory MP says she wants Britain to leave the EU "at the earliest opportunity" so That her party can focus on other issues. She says, currently, her party is in government but not governing.

'Instinctive prejudice'

The runs a piece by the former Prime Minister , Gordon Brown , where he sets out his view That the big battle in British politics at the moment is to "resist Nigel Farage ".

In a withering attack, Mr Brown accuses the Brexit Party leader of being "anti-immigrant" and holding "instinctive prejudice". He says the Conservative Party leadership contenders have a choice between Running Against Farage or - as he puts it - Racing to the bottom with him.

Writing in the, Conservative leadership candidate Esther Mcvey sets out her plans to increase funding for schools and The Police .

She says she wants to restore the Tories' reputation as The Party of law and order and promises a 25% increase in The Police budget. The former secretary of state for work and pensions also plans to guarantee officers an annual pay rise That 's at least in-line with inflation, and claims it could be paid for by cutting foreign aid.

In its editorial, The Paper , says the race to become leader of the Conservatives has ended what it calls "a drought of decent policy ideas".

It praises Esther Mcvey for her Pledge - and urges The Other candidates to "follow her lead" and "come up with groundbreaking policies". The leadership contest, it says, has to be about More Than just how strong or weak you are on Brexit.

The says the US Special Counsel, Robert Mueller , has reignited demands for Donald Trump 's impeachment by breaking his silence over his report into alleged Russian links to The President 's election campaign.

The describes it as being "as powerful an invitation to impeachment of The President as anyone has delivered to date". The says Mr Mueller's account of what was in The Report stood in sharp contrast to Attorney General William Barr 's portrayal of The Investigation .

In its editorial, The Urges all of the Tory leadership candidates to commit to abandoning The Target of reducing net migration to the tens of thousands.

It says because The Target has never been reached, far-right critics are able to paint the UK's immigration system as being too lax. The Paper says the next Prime Minister should set out a New Approach which embraces the skills and talents of immigrants, rather than seeing them as a problem to be contained.

Reports to police are up by a fifth in The Last three years with babies under the age of one having had abuse shouted at them. The Charity says some youngsters have told counsellors they've tried to change the colour of their skin after being bullied.

The reports That The Royal College of Psychiatrists wants doctors who prescribe antidepressants to be forced to warn patients That there's a risk they could experience severe side-effects. The Paper says such a move could reduce what it describes as the "over-use of the pills".

In its leader, supports more detailed advice being given about potential side-effects - Saying the use of antidepressants "needs to be rationed and monitored". It concludes That health policy "needs to provide a range of remedies and doctors should closely scrutinise how sufferers use them".

The Secretary General of the United Nations , Antonio Guterres , has written an article in the, urging governments to act on Climate Change .

Mr Guterres says there are three things countries can do to become carbon neutral and limit Global Warming . Namely, put a tax on pollution, stop subsidising fossil fuels, and stop building coal plants.
