    Scanning the press and the commentators' Twitter feeds, she looks absolutely friendless this morning. Her deal won't even be put again, so slim are it's chances of success.

    Thankfully there isn't time for the Tories to appoint a brextremist as leader before we have to make the next decisions, so it looks like Sir Humphrey as caretaker while the indicative vote process is used to find a solution to agree with the EU.

    She’s only lasted this long as she has to get a Withdrawal Agreement signed off. It’s a poison chalice no one else wants to be blamed for.

    She’ll be gone before any trade talks begin, or if there’s another extension beyond 2 months.

    The best thing she can do is consent to a people’s vote before she goes , the arrogance of some MPs that we cannot be asked” are you sure “ on such a massive decision is breathtaking.
    It’s like a surgeon taking you down to the theatre for a massive cosmetic operation and not taking any notice that you may have second thoughts.

    She’s not been in office for months. The worst PM in history bar none.

    The answer to the question , I'm afraid no . The Tories can't vote her out , they ve had that vote already and have to wait another year . That leaves a no confidence motion to be tabled by the opposition . I believe it requires a 2/3 majority and then would lead to fresh general elections . How many Tories do you think will vote against Teresa ? You ll be lucky to find 10.......

    Don’t share your confidence, she it the t*rd that won’t flush. The tories don’t have any mechanism to force her out - The ERG cocked that one up in January. For sure Cameron’s attempt to unite the tories with a referendum hasn’t exactly worked trouble is its screwed the country as well as his party

    Got a text a few mins ago from Mrs F who is on the march. Huge demonstration there took her 2.5 hours to get as far as Marble Arch. No idea what happens now

    I just don't get this whole 2nd refurendum malarkey , though kudos for people showing political will . Even if a second ref was inacted arnt remainers just going to get dragged into the same message " if we leave things will get worse " ? Not much of a message is it . Thats the whole problem with the remain argument from day one . What the remain argument needed to be is " if we remain things will get better " but to prove that In reasoned debate is easier said than done .

    Ps bad link but some march is going on in London......

    She's been a disaster. Probably the worst Prime Minister in living memory.
    The Tory big wigs won't tell her that her time is up just yet. They will wait until the
    whole sorry Brexit debacle is concluded. Once that happens, she will be
    ditched and she will walk away with all the emotional baggage, taking the blame
    with her. They will then herald their new leader as the UK's saviour hoping that when the next General
    Election is held, that they will be re-elected. Having spent a lot of years on holiday down South, I know
    that a lot of the electorate down there, are true blue and no matter how bad things might get, they will
    never ever vote for Jeremy Corbyn or Labour.

    And yet some on here will constantly post the analogy about the red rose and donkey.
