Theresa May

I understand what's said but disagree. If she gets the 158 nothing will shift her. All the evidence to date shows she has Mourinho-like stickability and 100 against her would be seen as a "disaster" of the type she has survived before and she would see no earthly reason not to drive on stubbornly.

She probably will do that is the pathetic cretin that she is, but when you're a sitting PM and your own party turns on you, your toast. Mrs T realised that very quickly when it happened to her once you lose the house as May already has done with the 48+ letters just go. The reality is that the DUP are going to pull once the Brexit deal fails (letter gone in) sorry its on Daily Politik FB page then what does she have left? The opposition putting in a no confidence? The opposition putting motions on policy?

There is no positives for May to gain from this its game over!!

May will win the vote.

Its a suicide note for the party otherwise.

But she is damaged beyond repair and will next face a vote of no confidence in the government and Tory MP’s know this.

She can’t get the biggest piece of business we have known since WW2 through Parliament because she is finished.

If they vote to keep her they face a possible GE with her at the helm and look what happened last time.

I don’t see her winning despite the vocal support and it means nothing in a secret ballot.
 
As much as I dislike May I will admit that I have a new found respect for he in how she is conducting herself today.

Obviously as PM you have to act in a certain way but if I was in her shoes today I would be using this platform to be telling them all to "go fuck themselves and stick your job up your arse".

She has a Gallows humour going from her opening statement at PMQ's

Not quite sure it’s for any other reason than she’s tasted power, likes it, and doesn’t want to give it up - whatever she may tell herself and anyone else who cares to listen.

Not saying that marks her out as anything other than normal tbf, but there’s little that’s public spirited or altruistic about her clinging onto power until the last possible moment, even after it stops being remotely enjoyable. Power like that is a tough habit to break. She’s addicted to it.

Forget your 'new respect' mate.
Her priorities are her own power and her party's power before the country. That is what determines her conduct and that doesn't entitle her to any respect.

I think some of it is stubbornness/pride at being the one who created the current parliamentary mess, and wanting to prove that she can do something.
I think some is to do with what/who the alternatives might be.

What I don't know is what she must think of the apparently unwanted deal she seems to have committed to. Strange.

Some fucking strange headlines this morning seeing as "she can't possibly win".

She should call another snap GE. I for one would be fascinated by such a contest where the two leading candidates are thought to have no chance of winning by their own parties !!

She didn't create the mess. I think if she was truly power hungry she would have refused to stand down before the next general election. The mess came from the Tories fearing a loss in the last election and offering a referendum to avoid losing seats to UKIP. Ultimately that promise led to this carnage. May is trying to get a deal that works but the EU are saying piss off and we didn't think this Brexit thing through before we voted on it. No one had a clue. Surely the NI border was obviously an issue? Surely the divorce bill was always going to be huge and outweigh benefits in the short term.... uncertainty isn't good for this country and May is saying whilst this is shite it gets it done and we can move on. It is Cameron's mess.
