Sadly Andy’s dad has died without ever being aware he had become PM.
He will be relieved of his duties today and tomorrow. Imho he should also be relieved of facing PMQs on weds.
My thoughts are with Andy and his family.

I agree that he should be relieved of PMQs but only if he wants that to be the case.

Ed Davey has sent a very kind response to this news. It's good to see compassion and respect triumphing over party politics.
