Mail On Sunday

The Survation poll for the Daily Mail shows Nigel Farage's (pictured left outside a polling station in Kent today) Brexit Party well ahead in the European elections on 31 per cent, trailed by Labour on 23, the Conservatives on 14 and the Lib Dems on 12 (pictured right). Nearly seven out of ten Tory voters said the reason they did not intend to vote for Mrs May yesterday was because of her failure to deliver Brexit. Calls for her to step down were backed by 57 per cent of Conservatives with 25 per cent against. With the Tory leadership contest about to begin, most of the party's supporters appear to have already decided that former Foreign Secretary Johnson is the best person to revive their dismal ratings and sort out the Brexit chaos (pictured right). A total of 36 per cent of Conservatives said he should be next leader, with Home Secretary Sajid Javid a distant second on nine per cent, followed by Environment Secretary Michael Gove on seven and Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt on five.

A huge field of candidates is expected to run to replace Theresa May. While as many as 25 could run they will swiftly be whittled down into a workable number as MPs show their allegiances and plot to get their chosen man or woman into Downing Street. Here we look at the main runners and riders, with their odds with Ladbrokes and how they voted in the 2016 referendum.

Ed Miliband (left), 49, said bringing his wife Justine Thornton on stage after a Labour party conference speech (right) was a mistake and that it 'took him too long to realise'. The politician also said he 'underestimated the nightmare' his position was for his wife, who works as a High Court judge. He made the revelations in a candid interview on a new podcast hosted by former Labour spin doctor Alistair Campbell and his activist daughter Grace (both inset).

Richard Ashcroft (right, at the Ivor Novellos in London last night), 47, said the 'bitter taste' following years of conflict has gone after Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (left, in Hamburg in 2017) signed over the rights to Bitter Sweet Symphony last month. Since the song was released in 1997, Mr Ashcroft has not earnt any royalties as a result of the dispute. The Verve sought permission before they released the song to use an orchestral version of the Rolling Stones' The Last Time as part of the song, which was recorded by the Andrew Oldham Orchestra in 1965. The Stones agreed to grant the use of a five-note segment of the recording in exchange for half of the royalties. But Stones' manager Allen Klein, who died in 2009, claimed the Verve had used a larger chunk of the song and voided the agreement and began a lengthy plagiarism case. Mr Ashcroft insisted it was Mr Klein, rather than the musicians, who had been responsible for the dispute. Last night, Ashcroft also posted a tweet under the title 'Bitter Sweet Press Release' (centre), saying it was a 'remarkable and life affirming turn of events'.

Jodie Gumbley, 28, of Bradford, West Yorkshire, flew to the popular Spanish island with friends for a hen party just weeks after a double mastectomy. The group went to a cocktail bar in Magaluf when they were taunted by another group, it was claimed. The group then allegedly threw a glass at the hen party, that landed near the hen Janine Kelly, so Miss Gumbley retaliated by throwing one back. Miss Gumbley's sister Holly, 19, said her sister threw a glass 'in retaliation' and that Miss Gumble was not a violent person. Miss Gumbley (pictured left and right in 2015, before she had had the mastectomy) has been bailed but cannot leave the island until she has paid £4,400. If she is cleared the money is returned, if she is found guilty the money goes to the allged victim.

The National Enquirer Live! in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, has turned Princess Diana's last moments before her death into a tasteless attraction. The National Enquirer Live! is set to open its doors at noon on Friday and will feature the August 31, 1997, car crash that took Princess Diana's life. According to amusements impresario Robin Turner, the Princess Diana attraction is a '3-D computer model, and you're looking down on what looks just like Paris, but it's three-dimensional'. Turner said the attraction shows 'the pathway as she left the Ritz hotel, and the paparazzi chasing her, and the bang-flash that we think blinded the driver - and how it happened'. Turner claims the attraction has been put together in a tasteful way with only computer animation at work. 'It's done in a positive fashion,' Turner added. The theme park also features a replica of Michael Jackson (top center) clutching his then-nine-month-old son Prince Michael II with one arm, as the child, with its face covered in a blanket, dangled over the edge of the star's balcony at Berlin's Adlon Hotel in 2002.

Simpson's ex-wife, and Goldman had been stabbed to death outside her condominium. Simpson was acquitted of their murders in 1995.

'I sang one of my sister-in-law's favourite songs, Will You Love Me Tomorrow,' Sophie told me as she opened the London Art Biennale in aid of Age UK Kensington and Chelsea. 'There were a few tears but I'm not sure if it was because they were moved or wanted me to stop!' Her daughters, Maud, five, and three-year-old Isabella, also played a part in the happy couple's big day - as bridesmaids. 'It's nerve-racking being the mother of bridesmaids because you have no clue what they are going to feel like doing while they're walking up the aisle. So while I enjoyed every minute of my sister-in-law's day, I was incredibly relieved as a mother that it's all over.'

Inch by inch, in characteristic sluggishness, the mammal wrapped its long claws around a branch being held by a group of resort workers at Junglewood Falls in Panama. Once the animal had a firm grip on the stick, it hung on as the wardens lifted it back to the safety of the trees. The excruciatingly slow rescue mission was filmed by one of the group and captures the sloth's gradual attempts to haul itself up from the Mamoní River.
