They survived the confidence votes but only by 19 votes. Surely she should go now?

I don't know a single person who's positive about TM and I'm married to a Tory. Even he can't get his head round how incompetent and pig headed she is.

I must admit I too was most impressed with Gove yesterday.

Bluelady I'm not even talking about friends and family. Even when I've overheard people talking about Brexit, they all say the same about Theresa May. I'd also add my card carrying Scottish Labour supporter df has been praising her determination and dignity amongst the 'shit shower' she has to deal with.

Clearly we move in different circles.

She should go. Her staying in power is just wasting more time as she won’t be able negotiate anything better even if she had another two years. Either allow someone else to have a go or go through all the options which she doesn’t seem keen on doing.

YouGov Poll

Interviewed over 20,000 people in one of the largest surveys since the 2016 referendum

Remain is now the 1st preference in 600 constituencies

So not just Labour constituencies

There are very different results when voters have to choose between Remain and the Leave options actually available, rather than the Leave of their dreams in which we keep all the bits we like and none of the bits we don't

Many voters would like promises of lower income tax & Council tax, lower VAT, higher benefits, higher investment in the NHS & care services and public transport.

In 2016, the Leave campaign promised different things to different groups,
some of those promises incompatible with each other, or with WTO or EU rules.

That's why May has had such problems trying to get a deal:
the most brilliant politicans in British history could not have delivered all Leave promised, let alone the sorry shower of politicians we have in all parties.

However, we are where we are.

So, now politicians need to get together on a cross-party basis, drop the red lines and negotiate the best future deal.
At that stage, MPs should decide whether the Withdrawal Agreement containing that new framework should be approved or not.

Only if they are logjammed should they then ask the public to decide in a Peoples Vote,
this time between a specific Leave deal and Remain.

I want her to stay so when people realise how mugged off they've been if there's a no deal Brexit she'll be first in line to be lynched !
