No 10 probe after Theresa May's schedule 'left on train'

The government is investigating claims that a document outlining the prime minister's schedule for a visit to Cheshire was left on a train.

According to the Mirror, the briefing note was found on the floor of a first-class carriage on a train heading from Manchester to Edinburgh in January.

The document identified details such as a private address where Theresa May was attending a dinner that evening.

A Cabinet Office spokeswoman said they had been made aware of the claims.

The two-page briefing note was found by a member of the public at around midday on the day of the trip, the Mirror said.

It detailed Mrs May's plans for the day when she visited north-west England for a regional cabinet meeting.

The document identified the hotel where the prime minister had planned to spend several hours working on papers and making phone calls.

A government spokesman said: "We have been made aware of claims around a government document and will investigate accordingly."

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

I am shocked to learn that Theresa May has plans.  I assumed she made it all up as she went along.  Grin

That's the impression I get from the entire government at the current time! I don't think they have the slightest clue as to what's going on or what they should do.

It's a shame Mrs May herself wasn't discarded on the train  Grin

I wonder if the travel schedule included a U-turn?  Smiley

Jeremy Corbyn's movements were found by the toilet door, it seems.
