Popular cafe turned ‘community hub’ faces closure due to post-quake red tape
JOHN KIRK-ANDERSON/STUFF Upshot Coffee moved to Heathcote's Bridle Path Rd after the 2011 earthquakes. The end of their temporary consent means they may have to move again or shut down. Megan Geels has gone to work early nearly every day for 10 years, but she may lose her livelihood due to council red tape.

Upshot Coffee moved to its spot on Bridle Path Rd after the 2011 earthquakes.

What happens now for Boris Johnson – and will he survive as Prime Minister?
Ten days ago Boris Johnson said he was mulling a third term until the mid-2030s. Now Tory MPs are questioning if he’ll survive the summer after the brutal resignations of his Chancellor and Health Secretary. Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid published their scathing letters nine minutes apart, just as the PM was due to summon a meeting of his loyalists. It comes after the Prime Minister was accused of lying about whether he knew of allegations against the Tory MP Chris Pincher, who has denied a series of allegations dating back over the last decade. For many Conservatives, how No10 dealt with the claims has been the final straw after months of questions about the PM’s integrity.

Boris Johnson under pressure – who are the frontrunners for his job if PM’s time runs out?
The resignation of Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid could be the final blow for Boris Johnson's premiership after the political heavyweights attacked the PM's "lack of integrity", competence and leadership. The prime minister narrowly survived a confidence vote in him last month. Tory MPs voted by 211 to 148 in support of the PM, but the scale of the revolt against his leadership left him wounded. When Theresa May faced a confidence vote in 2018 she secured the support of 63% of her MPs - but was still forced out within six months. The prime minister saw 41% of his MPs vote against him, a worse result than Mrs May. Advertisement So, if Mr Johnson faces a similar fate, these are the candidates that could stand to replace him: Up until the last few months, the former chancellor was seen by many Conservative MPs as the frontrunner in the race to succeed Mr Johnson.
