That has to mean she couldn't get her cabinet to back her, she's now completely lost any control and as one commentator on the BBC puts it the cabinet's failure to back her is already a polite 'no confidence motion'. So now that time is up, and no amount of waffle speak is good enough, Theresa May will probably be gone and this could easily split the Tories as they'll actually have make decisions as opposed to ERG and Boris muttering 1 thing and large Remainder section muttering others. Interesting times, chaotic from the Brits though.

In my day we learned of a brave man called Roger casement who was hanged for want of a comma on a 14th century English definition of traitor. His death caused outrage leading to many Irish to refuse to fight in ww1, depriving the brits of cannon fodder and hastening their need for the yanks to join. The Russian and austro-Hungarian empires fell because of this.

Get a bigger majority and then these Brexit negotiations would have been a hell of a lot easier. No reliance on the ERG or DUP and more chance of a soft Brexiteer getting pushed through. Alas she couldn't campaign to save herself.

There is a massive difference between playing the game of opposition and having to actually have any answers. Johnson found that out quite quickly after the referendum.
