Theresa May: Brexit will bring her down.
Her days as prime minister are numbered – and that number may not even be in double-figures.
Messages started appearing on Twitter last night (June 5) suggesting that the Conservative Party has finally had enough of Mrs May’s inability to lead, fudging, and can-kicking. Here’s Robert Peston:
It has started. This from erstwhile May loyalist: “We can’t go on with TM for much longer. Her inability to show leadership or make a decision is creating a vacuum the remainers use to run riot in. Once the votes are over next week, she has to go!”
— Robert Peston (@Peston) June 4, 2018
Those votes will be on the EU Withdrawal Bill, which returns to the Commons next week.
Fellow New Left Media site Evolve Politics published an article headlined “Vote of No Confidence imminent as Senior Tory May-loyalist now says ‘She has to go’”. The article stated that the latest attack is “pushing the number of signatures needed to secure a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister to the tipping point”.
It pointed out: “The signatures of just 48 Tory MPs on a letter handed to party Chairman Brandon Lewis (pictured) would be needed to bring a Vote of No Confidence in the Prime Minister before Parliament, and today’s revelations could easily now mean that the figure can be reached.”
Mrs May’s weakness at Prime Minister’s Questions can only have worsened her position.
I was commenting on her performance and – well, see for yourself:
.@jeremycorbyn leads on Brexit. Where's our detailed, ambitious and precise White Paper on the government's position? #bbcdp #pmqs
— Mike Sivier (@MidWalesMike) June 6, 2018
.@theresa_may doesn't give an answer on when her new Brexit White Paper will be published. Tweezer doesn't have a clue. #bbcdp #pmqs
— Mike Sivier (@MidWalesMike) June 6, 2018
.@theresa_may asks .@jeremycorbyn to rule out a second referendum. He responds that it is PRIME MINISTER'S question time. Meanwhile, there's no White Paper and no answer on when it will be published. He's right. She lost that one. #bbcdp #pmqs
— Mike Sivier (@MidWalesMike) June 6, 2018
Big hit from .@jeremycorbyn : "It's not the Labour Party conducting the negotiations – but it's not the government either." #bbcdp #pmqs
— Mike Sivier (@MidWalesMike) June 6, 2018
.@jeremycorbyn moves on to the Northern Ireland border and the latest madcap Tory proposal – a huge "buffer zone". Tweezer talks vaguely about options that are being brought to the EU. #bbcdp #pmqs
— Mike Sivier (@MidWalesMike) June 6, 2018
.@jeremycorbyn : No answer on the White Paper; no answer on the buffer zone, despite it having brought everybody in Ireland together to say the idea is "bonkers". #bbcdp #pmqs
— Mike Sivier (@MidWalesMike) June 6, 2018
Another hit from .@jeremycorbyn : "When it comes to Brexit, this government has delivered more delays and more cancellations than Northern Rail." #bbcdp #pmqs
— Mike Sivier (@MidWalesMike) June 6, 2018
.@jeremycorbyn asks which will last longer – the Northern Rail franchise or her premiership? #bbcdp #pmqs
— Mike Sivier (@MidWalesMike) June 6, 2018
.@theresa_may is reduced to trying to make a cheap shot at Labour. She should be saying what her government is doing. Tweezer is weak, weak, weak. #bbcdp #pmqs
— Mike Sivier (@MidWalesMike) June 6, 2018
“Weak, weak, weak.” Weren’t those the words with which Tony Blair dismissed John Major’s failed government in 1997?
Let’s hope Tweezer will be out on her ear in a similar manner before the summer break.
She just wants to be put out of her misery. Just call another general election and we can use it as a defacto 2nd referendum

Patel already launched her bid
Wish they’d hurry up and stab her – in the back, front or side.
Mike what happens when TM is ousted, do we get another GE or is it another Tory leadership battle?
Leadership battle – unless the Tories are stupid enough to upset the DUP. I think they are.
I’d say a leadership battle at first, possibly leading to an election.
it’s strong and stable leadership, cough cough
