If she didn't resign after the thumping she got at the last election, I can't see her resigning over Brexit, she is a tough cookie no doubt. Can't see Brexit happening either tbh

I cannot see Brexit happening either, but surely she MUST go ?

It would be career suicide for anyone to take on the role at this point, who would want it unless they just wanted the salary for life that goes with the job

No she wont resign. While there is a lot of huffing and puffing from all sides and all parties it is a compromise that parliament will get behind.

The bigger issue i think is that the EU wont accept any agreement unless it ties us in completely, so it will eventually end up in a no deal. It is possible that the EU may surprise me, but they have never budged an inch before so I don't see them changing now.

So, i think it will end in a very hard brexit without the brexiteers needing to do anything

I hope she doesn't , but couldn't blame her if she did ,what a thankless job she has, and also working with people who will happily stab her in the back, I have to say I am very disappointed in Boris in all this,She is trying to deliver us a Brexit that we are all happy with and it's impossible to do,I'de hate her job,she is a tough lady,I'de have told them all to piss off ages ago.

They can all feck off, she can order a new one from ikea that would do a better job than that lot if spineless arseholes..

She can probably do it all on her own anyway.

I find her to be utterly uncharasmatic and so far fairly useless in all she has done

I look at out 2 leaders in Scotland and just think how awful she is and westminster is



both parties in london are an absolute shambolic mess

No I think she has actually come out of yesterday stronger. She's avoided a no confidence vote, she got a great reception from most Tory MPs yesterday and she now has a cabinet that is a lot more united and loyal to her than it was before. Boris has come out of this looking the worst and the hardline Brexiters are the ones falling out amongst themselves and don't know what to do

She'll cling on somehow. I think people in her cabinet are waiting for the ****show of brexit to be over before they try and get her job, no-one wants to be associated with it.

Yep you would be mad to try and take over now. Like taking over a team with 10 games to go and you need to win all 10 to avoid relegation..

“When I stepped foot in number ten, I knew I was going to strongly, and stabley resign shortly afterwards”

I can literally hear it.

I think she’ll see brexit through and then resign

although enough Tory MPs resigning to the point that they lose their government-majority doesn’t seem impossible at this point.

As I've said the government will be the same but the faces may change :bored: . As it feels like we'll always be in a tory leadership :sleep:.

Do you think someone would be crazy enough to take that job on at the moment. It would end their political career within a year

These are politicians we're talking about. So yes, I think there is a short line of people waiting to step into her Manolos. She's wavering on Brexit, insisting everyone backs her or get sacked... and she's about to offer us a different Brexit to the one the country voted for. The worst thing to happen to May is David Davis stepping down. In my humble opinion, of course...

I agree she will never go on her own but she might be pushed. I would personally prefer someone who believes in Brexit but who know what we will get when she is pushed.

With regards Boris, he was actually a very good Mayor and kept his promises. I like him for that. The current Mayor is useless and just make excuses.

I don't think she is 'allowed to' resign in all honesty. She would surely have gone after the dreadful election result. But also, someone would have to be totally out of their mind to volunteer to sort out this brexit mess now. It was a poisoned chalice when may took it, its ****ing worse now.

They voted for the Tory's take on Brexit despite knowing how flip floppy on issues they are. They voted for the Tory party under May's leadership thus they voted for the soft brexit she's offering up.

It's very easy to criticise, but I don't see how Corbyn could have done a better job. Can anyone say with any certainty what labours strategy is on brexit. That is 100% supported by the entire party? The SNP and lib dems are even worse, they don't even acknowledge that the UK voted to leave the EU

If people wanted a hard brexit, they should have gone for Corbyn. He is the reverse of May, a leaver who had to support remain for the sake of his party. The truth is people stood a better chance of a hard brexit with Labour than they ever did with the Tories.

Everyone would **** it up. Its just a disaster waiting to happen. Whoever pulled the short straw and got stuck with it would be crap. Part of the reason I think the Tories were actively trying to lose the last election, so Labour got stuck with it and then the Tories could forever point and laugh. Despite it all being Camerons fault to start with! And all as he was **** scared Farage would take his voters. School year bollocks, with very bad consequences :laugh:

We may well end up with Mogg - then we will get a hard Brexit which is very much preferable to Corbyn’s version or May’s.

he didn't seem to be anything as i recall, he didn't know where to place his hat because he didn't know which was the popular choice, and I still don't see any change in that position. Are labour united in an approach to it all? If they are I've seen zero evidence of it.

He was quite known for being Anti-EU.

The Labour party would be as divided as the Tories but the truth is there would have been more chance of Corbyn pushing for a hard brexit than you'd get with May as we've seen in the past few days.

Why do you persist in insulting anyone - on here and in the 'real' world - who do not align with your very skewed, very delusional, left-wing, liberal politics?

By evidencing the repetitive pattern of your posts on SD, it is not only transparent that it is you who are ill-informed but also that you must have the narrowest parameters of sources from which you swallow the misinformation which you keep regurgitating on here.

You have absolutely NO evidence to support or justify your oft-repeated lie that 'Leave' voters are any more or less 'ill-informed' than you or any other 'Remain' voter, yet that FACT does not stop you preaching and reaching on here.

Then again, being caught out making up your own 'Facts' on other threads has not stopped you there either.

That's silly.

Just because some people aren't informed about their choices doesn't mean that everyone is. Some people voted for the tories after researching the policies and finding that they agreed with them. The same can be said for all parties but to act like a sizeable amount of people aren't uninformed when it comes to voting is a pure falsity.

I'm sorry Vicky but claiming a disaster waiting to happen is a touch melodramatic. That might be what you think but no one can know that and a lot of the fear predictions have been wrong. If we left and went into WTO rules it wouldn't be the disaster it is being painted. The world will not end as we know it.

I've got a feeling she'll be gone within 12 months.

Edit: it's also hardly the electorate's fault for being uninformed on how Brexit would play out; the fault entirely lays with those responsible for issuing a referendum on what might as well have been a theoretical question.
