Alex Salmond suggested Theresa May will be replaced as PM soon
Mr Salmond, who lost his Westminster seat of Gordon in last month's general election, quipped that Theresa May ought to take his slot - suggesting she will be replaced as Prime Minister in the near future.

Mr Salmond said: "I am still a big fan of the show but the answer has to be a reluctant 'no, thank you'.
"I maintain my aversion to creepy crawlies. In any case, I would not wish to take the place of Theresa May who should be available by October or so."
