The final straw, May probably to be replaced
She's done it again.
Looks like a new leader such as Ruth Davidson or Philip Hammond will be taking over, which is why the Tory whips are all over the Lib Dems.
We know what that meansI'm alright JackComment

Now...next week, next month, doesn't matter. Any further election within at least the next 6 months would, IMO, see Labour pick up even more seats including most of the marginals they just missed out on - almost certainly not enough to get a majority but enough to get them close enough to form a working majority with other progressive parties in the house.
To be honest, if the current government does collapse and Labour try and form a government, they would have no choice but to call another election and hope they can get it through Parliament. The last election was a good result for them in context but they'd have even less hope of forming a working majority than the Tories.Comment

The Tories need to elect a (decent) new leader sooner rather than later and start trying to make things up to the electorate, otherwise I fear they'll be out in the cold for years.
No idea who that could be though....Do what thou wiltComment
