"I can still be Prime Minister. This is still on. Absolutely"

90% of Tory seats won in Scotland were nothing of the sort. It was obvious those were revolts against the SNP. The PM will unlikely risk another GE causes she knows the Tory majority is threadbare. But then again if they cannot form a working government..

SNP should form a coalition with the Tories.. A number of Tory voters in Scotland it seems (feck knows how) and the SNP are not anti gay religious terrorists.

And for this reason, I'm out.

And then if the country who are lucky enough to have to you elect a government you don't like, you are off again?

Indeed it is. Not much light has been given on the subject.. Once the UK was a powerful influence in the world and the EU. Tories are igniting this influence with flame throwers.

Theresa May's dream of providing strong and stable leadership is in tatters.

But the political disarray in the UK has helped the EU in some quarters. It has dampened (though not extinguished) Eurosceptic rhetoric across the continent. And determination to protect the EU in a Brexit deal has united normally fractious EU member states - for now.

Today, after so many of its own crises, the EU is feeling stronger and more stable than it has in a long time, thanks to Brexit.

Jeremy won't be PM. Not in this parliament, the Tory survival instinct will kick in and keep May afloat at least until early next year.

Beyond that, a new leader who unites them like Hammond or Rudd who puts together a manifesto that doesn't kick their core vote in the stomach and doesn't propose harming furry animals would likely bring the Tories back with a majority.

They got a vote increase, that recent Survation poll shows they are still more trusted than Labour with the economy and after all this duster puck - Corbyn is STILL not seen as a better PM than her, they are neck and neck.

I firmly believe Labour have had their moment under Corbyn, even with a huge surge in youth voters, they are still fifty seats behind even forming a coalition.

Truth hurts.

Quite a few Tory MPs who are uncomfortable with paramilitaryparliamentary alliance with the DUP.

At this moment we still have a hung parliament. None of what you said can be enacted without a working government. Even still the government needs a strong majority if it is to succeed in the Brexit talks.

[BlasterBates]

Effectively the Tories are now a "Zombie" government with no credible way forward. If they go Soft Brexit they'll lose support to UKIP, if they continue Hard Brexit they'll continue to bleed to Labour.

In short the Tory government is basically a corpse on life support.

May's new chief of staff or whatever they're called. Did he win his marginal seat?
