So June will be the end of May.

Theresa May is finally done for and will cease being UK Prime Minister in two weeks. She's been called a 'zombie Prime Minister' but really it's more like one of the skeletons from that old Jason and the Argonauts movie that keeps getting killed and then getting back up as though nothing happened.

Her premiership has been a disaster, even on its own terms. I hate Thatcher but she succeeded in what she wanted to do. May's terrible Brexit negotiations, false promises and global incompetence have left Britain politically divided and in a constitutional crisis. The Conservative's European election result could be under 10% and this is for a 'ruling' party!

By promising things she couldn't deliver, she merely raised the expectations of Brexiteers and increased the sense of betrayal as she found out that what was promised was not deliverable. Nigel Farage has tapped into that anger with his new Brexit Party and it means whoever replaces May will be on the hard Brexit nationalist right. That is where Tory members are and because the Tories have angered their core voter base so much, they have nowhere else to go electorally.

This might be good for the Labour Party but it's very bad for the country because it makes a no-deal Brexit a lot more likely. In playing with fire for short-term electoral gain, she's released forces that her party establishment can no longer control. The ordinary Conservative voters won't accept anything less than a hard Brexit and the traditional party of British business is now faced with one hell of a contradiction.
