This is from my colleague, Lizzy Buchan, who has just been to the regular Downing Street briefing – lots of questions about Tracey Crouch resignation speculation…

 

Asked if Tracey Crouch had resigned, the PM’s spokeswoman said: “No.”

Pressed on whether Ms Crouch was expected to, PM’s spokesperson said: “I’m not going to comment on speculation.”

 

She said she was “not aware of any plans” for the PM to speak to Ms Crouch today nor if they had spoken so far.

 

The PM’s official spokeswoman also denied that the fixed odd betting terminal plans had been delayed, saying: “We never confirmed a date until this week and we listened to stakeholders, including the APPG, who want it to happen before 2020 and that is what we are doing.”
