Theresa May has resigned

[KenAdams]

What fresh hell awaits us now? She was really emotional.

My heart goes out to her - No one could have tried harder to get the deal done.

She's delusional. I dread to think what's coming next.

About time. She has let things get to a nice low through her stubbornness.

I am no tory, but I thought her speech was excellent.

As she is a woman, all the chat will now be about her emotions.

Plus ca change...

She did sound emotional yes. Six weeks of jostling now to replace her? She won’t actually resign until 7 june

I have sympathy for her personally and don't think anyone else is going to breeze in and make a deal. Her idea of her achievements, I don't agree with many of those.

Do hope this doesn’t become all about her being a woman. She had to go because she was a poor PM, as have been countless men.

The world has gone to shit
I despair
I’m certainly no fan, but she got the shitty end of the stick and I dread to think what’s in store now for the leadership of our country.

Bye Felicia!!

That’s the kindest thing I can say about her.

I think she's been treated appallingly and I really feel for her. I truly believe she did her best, and I think all the back stabbing is disgusting.
I don't think her successor will be able to do any better.
It's either her deal or remain, so no-one else is going to achieve a better deal as we've no leverage since no deal was taken off the table.

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse!

I think she tried her best but people just kept putting barriers up and wouldn't let her get on with it

It's time for a general election. Get these muppets out who have no idea how "normal people" live.

@lovemyflipflops Does your heart go out to the hundreds of thousands of people living in poverty as a result of austerity? Save your sympathy for the victims of this government.

I think as a PM she was handed a shit sandwich and never stood a chance. I also think it'll be a long, long time before we see another woman PM because her legacy will be "that Brexit shite".

God help us all if it's the bookies favourite BJ because he's a lying devil with no conscience and the morals of my feral cat.

I'm terrified by who could replace her.

@Stillneedwillpower In legal terms, no deal is very much still a possibility.

I feel she's an honorable woman, DH disagrees. We're having a heated debate.

I am no Tory but I feel very sorry for her. She was in an impossible position regarding Brexit. She was quite right, in her speech, to allude to the importance of compromise. She is clearly frustrated with how the negotiations have played out. I don't agree with a lot of what her Government has done, but I'm not sure anyone else could have done a better job of trying to implement the catastrophe that is Brexit.

Scary to think of her replacement...never thought I'd prefer her over anyone (being anything but tory) but the alternatives at the mo are terrifying.

I feel sorry for her.

Not on her side of politics but she's shown a great deal of dedication and determination.

I dread to think who's going to replace her. If its Boris, I am completely grateful I have emigrated.

I'm terrified by who could replace her.

And me.

I'm a remainer, not a Tory and wasn't impressed by her attitude to Larry :) but I thought she did a fantastic job given the circumstances.

It's David Cameron who started this rot with a 'one stage' referendum.

Wish she'd just said screw you guys I'm going home.

So Boris then?

@BenWillbondsPants

Yup, me too.
