This was all eminently clear when she lost her majority and mandate at the last election. But shr trundled along regardless.
Gove will be Foreign Secretary tonight. Possibly PM by this time next week.

I think history will look upon Cameron as the villain of the piece. A man who drove the country to austerity and pandered to small section of is own party to pose a ludicrous question that never made sense as a single vote to the British public.I'm mildly happy that, even just for a brief moment, Johnson is out of the British government and Gove is not the secretary for brexit as some were suggesting was possible late last night. Thank f**k for that.Politicians have an incredible talent for self-preservation. I wouldn't underestimate May's ability to navigate this. She's a post ideological politician anyway, she'll floats like the wind, happy to ride a shit storm.

That was planned to be a 'hard' Brexit and it was only the loss of that majority which stopped it. This Chequers' 'soft' Brexit proposal is no more than political opportunism to someone who has run out of options.If Cameron was the worst Tory leader since Chamberlain - May is the worst Ever! I reckon she will stick around to see what happens with the Trade & Customs Bills next week - but wouldn't be surprised if she went at the 1922 meeting tonight.
The Tory Party membership is about 80% hard Brexiteers so if May does go they will demand a Brexiteer leader. There is no way that a hard Brexit will get through Parliament. There has to be a general election.

BPoolJohn McDonnell’s economic policies are textbook economics. There is nothing remotely dangerous about them. They are policies that Harold MacMillan would have been comfortable with. It’s the Tory Party's Austerity economic which is the bizarre approach, unsupported by either theory or experience and deeply, deeply damaging to the country.
He might be great at the job but with views like his he should be nowhere near British politics, but everyone to there own
I wonder how different Britain's policies and future would have been without the untimely death of John Smith.I'm sure that a lot of the mess would have been avoided.
Brexiteers, what's the ideal realistic Brexit you imagine?

It's not the end of the world. A semi brexit would be much worse.
