Hm a few weeks ago I think she'd have survived this comfortably, now I'm not so sure. If she can't get her deal through Parliament and she can't get any more concessions from the EU then its hard to see where she has to go, she's out of ideas

All this will do is add more instability to the uk and any incoming PM will have a harder time getting any sort of deal from the EU. Embarrassing

yep exactly what that vile parliament wants, with their ''quest for superiority''


i really hope that you get a people's vote as for the brexit-gate (to remain or to leave) cause most of our dutch politicians have said if the uk parliament goes for no deal brexit without the people's opinion it feels like a dictatorship and that isn't necessary at all

What makes it worse is that if Scotland had gone independent back at our own referendum, and then rUK had Brexitted, a huge chunk (most) of the London-based trade that's now moving over to Holland and Germany would have been headed to Edinburgh . Although in practice, the question of the Scottish border would be even messier than the Irish border.

What a mess.
I'd hope she loses this.
However I do think the mainstream Conservative MPs, don't really want one of the strong voices on the harder brexit side to be leader.

So it may be they decide to, for another year, stick with the devil they know.

Theresa May has made a mess of and created shambles as to the brexit issue.
She should have worked to bring Parties and people more together.
She has stubbornly stuck to her own mind script and has likely divided more.
So it's doubtful, to me, anyone could do worse than she has.
My problem with her is, you just cannot really believe near all she politically says.

I still think she will come through this vote but it is a major blow to her and leaves her weaker for it happening, mainly due to her being the PM in government.

Then if she wins, the likelihood is, those who put these letters in, will be hardened even more against her for another year.

I think she'll win but it's a secret vote, so who knows.
For me however, the sooner this useless PM is gone the better.
I've never disliked anyone in politics, or trusted the word less of any politician of any party the way I dislike or don't trust the word of Theresa May.

Theresa the appeaser.
IF she does survive , then hopefully she will realise you can’t run a government by trying to please both sides on such an important matter.
Give the people what they voted for and get on with it.

So now that's two women leaders betrayed.

Why not just hand the country over to Corbyn and let us Jews leave in peace.

So just to get this straight, just over 2 years ago, 60% of tories voted in May, but now they've changed their minds and want another vote.



A month before May was voted in, 51% voted for Brexit, but a 2nd vote on that is seen as an attack on democracy. This dick measuring contest in the conservative party is about to take us all down. But at least we get to hold up our national xenophobia like a participation trophy.

the way this brexit has gone (which was the idea of the Tories) it is now a perfect opportunity for Labour to become the better political party, try and redeem UK for the good


brexit should be demolished completely, no brexit is best option with then talks with some european countries to work closer together


that is the way things should go in the UK, no more brexit and go solve some of the UK's problems now, make life better again for the working class british people

How about the majority who voted to leave? Don't they count? Is that democracy?

If Corbyn becomes PM, my Grandmother is already packed to leave. She's survived one anti-Semitic leader in her life, she has no wish to face another.
