Parliament mystery: late night break-in at journalists’ bar

This weekend saw a host of EU drama unfold, as a number of Cabinet Ministers rebelled against David Cameron on Saturday — declaring that they would campaign for Brexit.

The word in the corridors of power is that wine was the thief’s tipple of choice.
