New photo May ends her bruising week at the hands of MPs and eurocrats by opening hospice in her constituency

Theresa May finished a punishing week at the hands of MPs and Eurocrats by opening a children's hospice in her constituency today. 

The Prime Minister, who recently suggested she would not be leading the Conservative Party into a 2022 election, returned from a mission to Brussels and attended the opening ceremony of The Alexander Devine Children's Hospice Service just outside Maidenhead. 

A spokesperson for the charity said the centre currently helps care for more than 113 families, offering support to children with 'life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses'.

Also in attendance at the opening was Sir Michael Parkinson, a founding patron described by the charity's CEO as 'a much valued and committed supporter' who has 'always been passionate about our work, sensitive to the needs of the children and their families'.

The Alexander Devine Children's Hospice was set up by John and Fiona Devine, from Windsor, in memory of 'their extraordinary little boy' who died in early 2006 from a rare brain tumour, aged only eight years old.

The Maidenhead Advertiser reported that Mrs May, arriving straight from Brussels, said: 'I think today is a remarkable day and it's reflecting not just the effort that's been put in by Fiona and John over these years but a dedication, a commitment and a determination that I have never seen in anyone else.

'For all the children and families that are going to benefit, they will owe you an enormous debt of gratitude.

'Their lives will be improved, their lives will be given that comfort and that support and that hope because of your determination and conviction.'     

During the ceremony the Prime Minister was presented with a bouquet of flowers by four-year-old Sophia Bird. 

Sophia was diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukaemia last year and has been receiving support at home and at the new hospice from the Alexander Devine care team. 

A statement from the charity said: '[Mr and Mrs Devine's] personal experience, and subsequent extensive research, led them to realise that there was a vital need for a local children's hospice service and hospice.

'The charity funds The Alexander Care Team (paediatric palliative care children's nurses, trained care staff, and a play specialist) who support children aged 0-19 years with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions in their own homes across Berkshire and the bordering areas of surrounding counties.'

It continues: 'Alexander Devine relies on the generosity and support of local communities to carry out the vital work that they do. All of the services are free of charge.'  

The Prime Minister attended the event after a week-long bruising at the hands of MPs and Brussels negotiators. 

She tore into EU Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker today - the second day of a tense gathering at the heart of the European Union.  

Although TV footage of the meeting was muted, the pair were caught exchanging heated words for at least a minute, with lipreaders claiming the exchange began with Mrs May saying: 'What did you call me? You called me nebulous.'

Mr Juncker seemingly did not understand, asking Mrs May to repeat herself, before she slowly spelled out the word 'nebulous'.     

Body language experts said the Prime Minister had successfully disrupted the EU chief's usual 'Godfather' demeanour and put him on the back foot.

Last night, during a ten minute pitch at the summit dinner in Brussels, Mrs May pleaded with the other 27 leaders to guarantee that a new trade deal would be in place by 2021 in order to steer clear of triggering the contentious arrangements intended to avoid a hard border in Northern Ireland.  

After Mrs May was booted out so the EU leaders could consider the proposals in private, My Juncker complained that the UK's position was 'nebulous and imprecise'.  

The Prime Minister was forced to promise she would secure 'legally binding' assurances in order to survive a Conservative coup earlier this week - and Mrs May even admitted publicly that she will not lead the party into the 2022 general election. 

Mrs May's trip to Brussels came at the end of a week that saw her delay the vote on her Brexit deal in Parliament before winning a no confidence vote brought by MPs.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
