Theresa May's time is up

[mojo pixy]

So will rest on Mr Grayling's competence at planning no deal Brexit.

Let's hope he doesn't delegate to someone with more expertise, like some frogspawn.

 

[gosub]

That can happen, too.

Well Mr Gove can wonder, but in that scenarios I'd go with Palmerstone, at least he is a competent mouser

 

[Kaka Tim]

muterings and mumerings about May being booted if/when her deal gets rejected on tues. She will probably have to ask for an a50 extension - which could be the final humiliation seeing as she had repeatedly ruled that out. It would basically mean her entire brexit strategy has been an abject failure.
Her only argument for been allowed to continue is to try and secure a brief extension and try yet again - but will her own party (never mind the EU) support that exercise in futility?
(and yeah - i know she cant face a confidence vote - but the cabinet could effectively push her out if they felt their was support from mps).

the cabinet have formed a choir, and the only song they've been learning is 'i will survive' - they will dump theresa by close harmony singing, demanding she walk out the door

might put £10 on Raab for next tory leader.

8-1. definitely tempting.

So - how long do folk's think she's got?
I think she will lost the next vote on her and then get deactivated.
Will probably take her being crushed in a big metal slammy thing having been reduced to her alloy inner cyborg with a several limbs missing al la The Terminator - but they will do it somehow.

 

[tim]

She'll go postal when she loses the next vote with an AK47 hidden in her dispatch box. Boris will get a sharpened heel through the skull

 

[hash tag]

A dig at May

 

[gentlegreen]

I was starting to get it a bit, but I cheated.
I read a funny piece by her daughter earlier and I'd forgotten she was married to AA Gill ...

I wonder what her dancing is like ...

I think they will have to carry her out kicking and screaming after the plod have busted down the door of No 10. The woman has the resilience of a cockroach.
Even (or more likely when) she loses MV3, the EU giving her another fortnight might encourage her to try for MV4, she just seems unable to take a hint.

 

[gentlegreen]

Has she ever done anything resembling flouncing ?
There's a rumour that MV3 may be called off to avoid embarrassment ...

(yes I know it's sexist)

she'll realise she's been lied to when they rip up her deal and spit on it as she leaves downing street

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

She'll go postal when she loses the next vote with an AK47 hidden in her dispatch box. Boris will get a sharpened heel through the skull

At least she'll go out with one concrete achievement to point to.

 

[Patteran]

Saturday night's alt-right for fighting - cue late night pissed tweets & leaks. Gove & Lidington apparently in the running.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

 

[Uprising]

Only just watched her press statement about the extension. It's desparate . You can see the terror in her eyes. She looks like a wounded prey animal; the poorly one at the back who knows it's just a matter of time before it's eaten by jackels

As Tory MPs plot May’s downfall, her last allies battle for her survival

is a fun article - tory party circular firing squad

The prime minister’s few remaining allies were engaged on Saturday night in a desperate battle to shore up her position, warning MPs that forcing May out would “tip the country into a general election and tear the party apart”. Downing Street is also warning hardline Tories that parliament is so against a no-deal Brexit the government would be brought down before it could implement such an outcome.

However, Tory MPs were this weekend examining ways of ousting May, and cabinet ministers on both sides of the Brexit debate made clear they were ready to quit if necessary.

probably my favourite bit -

ory MPs say some of the prime minister’s closest aides in Downing Street have been hinting that May could try to call a snap general election if her deal does not get through the Commons for the third time, as she believes support for it is stronger in the country than in parliament.

But Conservative MPs have made clear to Brady that they would work together to block an early election. Under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act, two-thirds of the Commons would need to agree an early election.

please let this happen and we have a general election where torys campaign against themselves.

not just the government - the tory party itself - is tearing itself apart before our eyes. I dont know who the screen writers are for the Brexit series - but this is turning into one hell of a season finale.

 

[Voley]

#CabinetCoup trending on Twitter. Sunday papers seem to think something's afoot.

BBC being cagey:
BBC News - Brexit: May urged to quit to help deal pass
May urged to quit to help deal pass

Don't know what to think tbh. She seems to cling on no matter what. Most MP's would've been out after the disastrous showing in the election. Things have got a lot worse since then and yet here she still is.

 

[Poi E]

Unelected leader and we have no power to get rid of her. What a fucking shit show Britain is.

You won't believe what happens next year

 

[Kaka Tim]

Peston rekons the coup is off - as it would merely hasten the collapse of the government. However - that is likely to happen anyway and we could well be heading for a snap General Election. The failing coup against Theresa May could bring down the Government

 

[binka]

Of course it failed they can't actually do anything competently

10/10

There are reports of the grandees turning up at chequers.

I wonder what passes for a 'grandee' these days.

A fucking giant sized turd.

Don’t know whether to say this as it’s very depressing...but.
With Trump not being found to have colluded with the Russians (insufficient evidence) and the no-deal that’s rapidly approaching (i’m sticking with that ) which means May’ll be thrown under the bus. We could end up with Trump till 2024 and de Pfeffel as PM.
Bummer.
