Theresa May to Quit

{smile] Elegran I imagine she is discussing that very scenario with Philip right now!

I agree Ginny42 she was a Remainer and perhaps she was the wrong person to negotiate with the EU. However, I feel sure she felt strongly that she had a job to do. She coined the phrase "No deal is better than a bad deal" but when Mps voted to remove the No Deal WTO option, her bargaining chips vanished.

How could UK MPs have weakened our dealing power like that? It seems stupid, given we were leaving anyway. The delaying strategies by various Remainer MPs, Bercow and the HOC sold the UK down the river.

I don't think any other MP with the Brexit task would have faced a smoother ride though.

We accept a bad deal or w

What she is saying to them is, "Ok, if you think you can do any better, you can bloody well get on with it. I am booking a long holiday somewhere without wifi coverage and I'm not taking my mobile or reading a newspaper. I might never be back. Good luck!"

Ah but Day6, TM was a remain MP and it is disingenuous to say that this mess is all the fault of the Remain MPs. Who started this bun fight and what did the Leave MPs do to mitigate against the worst effects of the Remain MPs?

I feel sorry for her - amidst a huge amount of admiration.

Can't see a decent replacement for her anywhere amongst the [what iam said].

Dreadful comment boat.

Day 6 - I don't agree with your political views on Brexit but I'm with you all the way in your last comment. May has shown real resilience and done the best she can when actually surrounded by back stabbing bar stewards.

boat what a crass comment.

You do a disservice to all strong women with that unnecessary and nasty comment boat.

I think she has been on massive amounts of tranquilisers for the whole process which will have helped her seem like a Maybot.

It’s not a case of ‘you can’t blame her’......she will not want to stand down ( what PM ever does?) A case of a bargain with her own Party to get behind her deal on the third run out.
Hope it succeeds.

I agree Annie she has behaved impeccably.

I can’t blame her either . How on earth she hasn’t told them all to “get stuffed” before now is beyond me . She hasn’t looked too well of late , her stress levels must be through the roof . I honestly don’t think anyone ( from any party) could have done any better than she has, being up against that EU wall that they really don’t want us to climb over !

I agree Annie

I blame Remainer MPs entirely for the mess we are in.

What a rough ride as PM she's had.

She certaintly brought dignity to the house

So ERG here we come - a terrifying prospect - BoJo, ReesMogg, Gove?

But I can't blame her, really- how she kept going so long, at her age and type 1 diabetic, is incredible.

Gawd, another Tory leadership contest - don't think I can take any more!

Once the deal has passed she will resign as PM and step down from further stages of negotiations.

I do not blame her at all. I hope she feels a sense of relief tonight.
