Who will replace May?

isn't that Gary????

Jeremy Hunt has lost a bit of credibility.
Louise Irvine, from the NHA, took over 12000 votes from him.

I think it would be wrong
For T M to go, she needs to hang on in there and show some guts. The most important thing is to get trusted advisors round her, listen to them, she clearly hadn't good judgement herself. We need the best deal possible for Brexit, try to get on with the Irish Unionists, who would have thought it. Give up Katek on due yo ill fealty, put someone with personality and vision in her place, but who at the moment I don't know. Cancel the proposed plan for High Speed train, which would please most people, give saving equally between NHS and Care in the Community, thereby getting huge proportion of voters on side. Do what Labour does for 12 months, promise to hold cuts, the money tree might bear fruit who knows, win some friends and self respect. She has let a lot of hood people down by her ineptitude, she has to put it right and she can,

It should read, resign eventually on ill health grounds, putting some ekes in place. Thus I pad does what it wants most if the time.

Boris's majority was halved wasn't it?

ekes?

Yes, it was, Tegan. Shame he kept the other half of it. Perhaps that will be remedied later in the year.

I agree with you Tegan. Hammond would be the best of the bunch. I'm probably biased, because he's the product of an Essex comprehensive school - a school I know I well. I have more time for him than anybody else on the front bench. Apparently, May wanted to sack him for not towing the line - in my eyes that's a recommendation. It seems she doesn't have the courage to sack him - even more to recommend him. It's difficult to know what he really thinks.

Luckylegs9 You quite clearly know little about the DUP, so I can't take anything you write seriously.

Quite clearly, you don't seem to understand much about the current zeitgeist either.

Have you ever considered anybody outside your bubble?

Hammond has been a bit of an enigma so far but obviously has a keen brain and a mind of his own which has not been evident - perhaps it is time to hear more of what he really thinks.

not Boris, please, even though I cannot dislike him.

It's in the Sun, Jalima. Boris is going to make a bid.

[big sigh] oh dear

'If true, it's the biggest joke yet in British politics. Imagine BoJo as PM, negotiating Brexit. There are none more loathed in Brussels or the capitals of Europe than Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson. BoJo single-handedly invented the Euromyths journalistic genre as a vanity project. If Brexit is a divorce, this is like sending the person you cheated with in to sweet-talk your ex into a favourable settlement for yourself'...from facebook tonight...

Johnson misunderstands his level of ability, someone needs to tell him.

We need someone with integrity, intelligence and someone who is respected by the whole country.

He fails on every single one

If the rumour is true and there is a deputy PM appointed after Tuesday, can we assume they will be on trial for the real job?

I suspect that the split in the Tory party is one with people like Ken Clarke, Soubry etc against people like Davis, Fox and Farage types.

I think we can begin to judge the changing mood in the Tory party by the ascendance of various figures. So May new chief of staff is a strong remainer.

I suspect that hard Brexit is like May toast, and a softer Brexit is almost certain now.

We are winning folks

Does seem moving from the far right is the way for them

But what do you mean by a "softer" Brexit? It would appear the majority of people want to stay in the single market. Staying in the single market means freedom of movement. The Norwegian and Swiss models have been ruled out in the past. TBH it's about Hard Brexit or No Brexit. The EU will not accept cherry picking.

Recent polls are apparently showing that every suggested leader would make the Conservatives would be even less popular than they are with May.

What chaos!

They have no choice annie the voter has made it clear

It's all very interesting!!

Maybe we'll have a second referendum after all, with a more honest campaign and with the knowledge of hindsight. In that case, the LibDems will have been the winners of the election. Oh the irony!

A couple of million 18 and 19 year olds might make a big difference.

Another consequence of the election is that Labour can stop being frit about Ukip tanks in their northern heartlands. They're more concerned about the effects of austerity than Brexit.
