Not the end of May after all

So, in the end, May refused to meet any more unhappy ministers last night, and the 1922 committee had their vote, then put the votng slips into an envelope, sealed it, saying we will open this on Friday and count the votes if May hasn't agreed to go.

Later on Thursday evening, Andrea Leadsome, the Leader of the House, whose job it is to plan and steer legislation through Parliament, resigned in protest at May's "new deal" plan.

Six years ago Leadsome was a remainer saying how bad Brexit (though it wasn't called it then) would be, to turn into an arch Brexiteer by 2017.

A woman so concomitant that she scuppered her own drive to become Tory party leader in 2016 after stating she would be a better leader (than May) as Leadsome had been a Mother. This was in her first newspaper interview. She pulled out of the race later that day, giving May a clear road to become PM.

Leadsome as PM would, and will be, much worse than what the country has endured under May. A female Johnson, someone who care about personal advancement over the good of the country, and it more concerned with politically dogmatic policies rather than whether those policies are actually harmful.

Leadsome is now positioning herself for the leadership contest, which will in all probability begin Friday morning when the scale of the Conservative's heaviest defeats in today's EU elections.

If not Leadsome, then Johnson. If not Leadsome or Johnson, then Gove. If not Leadsome, Johnson, Gove, then Williamson. And the list of snakeoil salesmen and shysters continue.

The Conservatives have already aped UKIP policies for the last three years, and after today, will move towards Nigel's Brexit Party position. It is mad.

So, May is isolated. Time has run out for her, and from tomorrow she can go back to running through fields. Only she can't, as a PM cannot just resign, someone has to take her place, meaning that she will stay on for several weeks as PM, though she will not be leader of the Conservative Party.
