Today might be the day that Theresa May resigns. But then I have thought that on many other previous occasions.
This time it is more likely. After the extension to Article 50 was granted earlier in the year, she has done very little to unite the party. Worse still (for the Conservatives) it has proved impossible to prevent the European Elections from taking place. In the chaos of that Nigel Farage has established the Brexit Party from nothing which looks like it has stormed ahead to win most of the seats. Interestingly though, so too have the Lib Dems, overtaking Labour and leaving the Conservatives languishing in single figures.
And amidst all that May tried to return her WA a final time in the form of a Bill into the House of Commons. This has proved the death knoll for her. The backlash has successfully killed it off and the 1922 Committee are pretty much forcing her out.
We await an announcement this morning to see if she will cling on until 10th June after the D-Day commemorations and Trump's state visit.
In my view the best thing she could do now would be to unilaterally revoke Article 50 and reset everything for the next PM to start again. And who will that be? Will it really be Boris? What can he do with the mathematics of Parliament - call another election? Would he dare?
