Imagine in ten year time somebody will make a documentry about May and our kids will ask if she was on drugs or just pig-****-stupid. And we’ll all be like idfk as we wave burgundy passports and surplus cash with Corbyns face on in our perfect health

[A total of 171 Tory MPs have publicly said they will continue
to back her as leader - but as the ballot is secret, they could vote differently behind closed doors.
The party has 317 seats, meaning the prime minister needs 159 votes to gain a majority.
MPs will vote between 6pm and 8pm tonight, and the result is expected to emerge at about 9pm.]

I can't see many people voting different to what they've stated, surely they'd just keep quiet if they were going to Vote against her rather than make a show of support

May should be looking to have at least 200 in support in any case

If Theresa May wins tonight, this gives her 12 months before another no confidence vote can go ahead, does this include any that Jeremy Corbyn or anybody else could throw at her.
If so then the Tories are playing a very good game.

Nah there could still be a general vote of no confidence in the government at some point

UK politicians are a complete mess right now. They care more about themselves than serving the public.

Whilst Theresa May is leader of the Conservative Party I will never vote Conservative
Whilst Jeremy Corbyn is leader of the Labour Party I will never vote Labour

The Brexit negotiations is a complete shambles. The first mistake is having a 'remainer' Theresa May leading UK negotiations with the EU. You really needed a 'leaver' to head the UK negotiations.


The referendum we had was not legally binding, and the 'leave' camp won by a small margin. IMHO I don't think the margin was large enough to start the process of triggering Article 50. If the 'leave' camp won 70%+ of the vote, then yes, go sign Article 50 but with a small percentage win I disagree that Article 50 should have been triggered.


Theresa May is a feeble, useless leader and painfully bad negotiator. This is why we have an 'EU agreement' that no one wants

That should help her win this tonight.
Hardly any Conservative MPs, I think, really want her to fight the next election after her dismal effort last year.

If she said the former, I wouldn't put it past her calling an election if she could, next year.
Still leading the party into that one as a last gasp hope of clinging on to her PM status.

She has form for doing such a thing before.

Theresa May cancelled the Brexit vote deal, since she knew she wouldn't win

maybe Theresa May will also cancel the vote of no confidence
