It's official - she lives to be embarrassed another day

And the mayhem continues.

We've got years of it yet. If we're lucky.

The majority of her backbenchers voted against her. That is very significant. Ministers cant vote against her unless they resign first, so have can easily have a different agenda to backbenchers.
This and the fact she has announced she wont stay on for much longer means she has lost most of the authority she had, which wasn't  that much to start with.

Other than quoting the BBC/Daily Fail/Labour party idiots .... just how do you know this ?? I was under the distinct impression it was a "secret" ballot

A small fact that seems to have escaped some of the very biased commentators tonight ...

All those "on the payroll" (ministers at all levels) must be assumed to have voted in her favour, as they cannot vote against the PM without resigning first. Apparently its a serious constitutional matter.

On a public vote .. yes.. but this was a "secret" ballot.

The Tories have become a party of invertebrates. 

In days gone by they'd have knifed her in the back, left her twitching in the gutter and headed for the bar without a backward glance to plot their next move.

true. But that would have required someone who wanted the job and had enough support to get it. There is no one with enough support, let alone anyone stupid enough to try for it.


Which emphasises what a massive opps up Brexit has been since the referendum was first suggested.

You have a way with words.

Apart from Boris, Amber Rudd wants it, Sajid David wants it Esther McVey wants it, but they know now that she will give them the opportunity to go for it in the next couple of years and for better or worse, the biggest issue of the time will probably be settled by then - in theory.

[Sir Tigger KC]

We can only hope that she has got the message that the backstop is unacceptable.

Its not her who needs to get that message .. it is the EU .....

You can't negotiate with someone who won't negotiate ... and at the moment they are saying take it or leave it .. so I say leave it .. no deal 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

That will do nicely.  ...…………...A lot of politicians are determined to stop that from happening though.
Things are as clear as mud at the moment.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

If if the backstop was removed by witchcraft the rest of the deal is pretty piss poor. Still more in the EU than out of it.

Brexit is supposed to be a brave new world. It looks like TM is afraid to let them go.
