With Theresa May in discussions to offer something 'bold' to get her Brexit deal passed by MPs, our readers have been trying to work out what it might entail.
Some believed it was a typo and that she actually meant an "old" offer. Others thought she might have just been trying to giveaway some washing powder with every vote.
BritsfortheEU said: "Give all MPs a thumping great pay rise, that should work."
StoneMunki wrote: "An open packet of biscuits... basically anything left at the back of the cupboard as that's all she's got left."
David Heard said: "She will shred the files that the whips office have on all Tory MPs."
