Tory Brexiteers are increasingly confident they have enough support to trigger a no-confidence vote in Theresa May as party leader.

It could be true, we could see in the news tomorrow Maybot's days are over.

It is now official, May will face a confidence vote tonight.

I've a sneaky suspicion she will survive unless one of the prominent leaders of her opposition are prepared to pick up and drink from the poisoned chalice and put themselves forward for her job.

What an awful bloody choice that would be :hmmm:

Quote:

UK Prime Minister Theresa May will face a vote of confidence in her leadership later on Wednesday.

Speaking outside 10 Downing Street, Mrs May said: "I will contest that vote with everything I have got."

She said a new prime minister would have to scrap or extend Article 50, the mechanism taking Britain out of the EU on 29 March, "delaying or even stopping Brexit".

Conservative MPs will vote from 18:00 GMT to 20:00 GMT.

A result is expected an hour or so later.

SKY News sources say she will win well.

Anna Soubry MP made me laugh, she said these 48 odd were not democratic. Ready for this? Here goes......They should be purged from the party! That seems to me not democracy you stupid woman.

Purged from the party and in doing so further raising a majority currently at -10 to -50+.....political suicide.

Corbyn and the fear of him getting the keys to no 10 will or should be her saving grace.

Old Jezzer is hitting back today and MayBot is ducking and diving with her same old worn out statements as normal. Maybot hits back right at the end with her old gem.

I have to give Jezzer credit for not calling for it, clearly seeing he would loose. If it's a big win for MayBot, Mogg and Co are finished as they will have to crawl back into the woodwork.

At least ten more vote pledges than she needs (providing those scoundrels are being truthful) so we await 9pm tonight.

MayBot wins the vote and is safe for another year.

200 to 117 votes.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46547246

MayBot will still lose the Brexit vote and loose all support from the DUP, result a dead duck that can not get anything passed through parliament .
