I know I'm a bit late on this one, but I'm really surprised at how little the complete backwards logic of Tezza's statement earlier has been mentioned.

She'll step down if the the thing she's been stubbornly fighting to get through parliament for months gets enough support, but if it doesn't, she'll stay?

What?

So this is a real person. Apparently.
It's like Boris tried to clone himself but something went wrong in the lab and one of the techicians spilled his Pot Noodle into the test tube.

Don't try to understand the logic of Theresa May. I'm convinced she's either a sociopath or she's on the spectrum.

If you read it as a threat it makes complete sense.

Don't sign old players and cast offs
For the older posters amongst us (@711), is this the most chaotic time in British politics you've seen in your lifetime? Along with the most inept politicians to go along with it?
It is. In the past both Tories and Labour had major figures who people regarded as intelligent and effective even then they disagreed with them. Can't think of any now.

'Speaker has walked out suspending proceedings until the indicative votes are counted. But Tories are furiously pointing to the mace, still in its place, and trying to encourage deputy speaker Eleanor Laing to take the chair. Which would be a parliamentary take over...'

Jesus Christ, what a shower.

True "will of the people" stuff there.

I've not seen someone cling to power so desperately. It's seemed at times like she believes she's heading an autocracy.

Well this is just it, isn't it?

She's basically threatening more incompetent nothingness and inaction in lieu of leadership if turns out that people still don't support her, by saying that if they do support the shit plan that she knows everyone thinks is shit, she'll leave them alone from now on, but she'll be happy because her shit plan is being carried out.

It is a bribe plain and simple.

It’s like David Moyes and Ed Woodward tying to sign Herrera all over again!

But even as a bribe it's shite.

It's exposed in the most blatant and obvious terms that this whole thing, right from Cameron even considering the referendum, never mind actually announcing the fecking thing, has just been about Tory party management and leadership struggles, and even if her deal were to pass, all it means is that whoever takes over is shackled by an incredibly flawed deal that everyone knows was incredibly unpopular.

Maybe if she survives another year she gets a free blueberry muffin with her next coffee?

Tories don't care or think we are all thick plebs who won't notice.

Cameron bribed a few right wing MP's with a referendum and May is trying to bribe her way to her Brexit deal.

You just know that Boris was that one guy at Eton who could get you animal parts. Any time of the day, he could get them. What people didn't know at the time was that he always kept some in his underwear.
