I would say between 900 thousand and 1.1 million..to be fair it took me a good 25 minutes to walk past the gates on downing street..

Unless she's replaced by a respected leaver such as Boris, Raab or Davis, then it makes no difference.

Shouting the loudest is just desperation and won’t overturn a democratic vote. Leave won. Why would a demonstration of a million or 5 million overturn a vote of over 15 million. Some maths lessons might help.

what the cabinet don't seem to have worked out is that if her deputy is not put in her place if she is kicked out, then it is an illegitimate government, and MP's will force a general election.

The possible outcome what we could end up with in a GE is much, much worse than what we have now, and what we have now is terrible.

If May gets stabbed in the back one more time it will truly cement the tories as the party of snakes.

Gove screwed our education system and his plans weren't even fully fulfilled before he was replaced as he was too much of an electoral liability. God knows what'll happen to our education system if he becomes PM

No he would be the Caretaker PM
while the Conservatives
Elect a new leader.

Making Labour wait until 2022
for a General Election could be the end result.

No . Not at all.

He would be the Temp. Caretaker
while they Elect a new Leader

Which must happen before 2022
as PM May confirmed (making her win her internal vote)
she will not lead
the Conservatives into any Next Election.

[No-deal Brexit
This final option would leave the UK with
no agreements in place for what
the future relationship will look like.
The country would be forced to make
its own arrangements with others
outside the European Union.
Sky News revealed on Thursday
that the armed forces have activated
a team in a nuclear-proof bunker
under the Ministry of Defence as
the government prepares for a potential no-deal Brexit.]
