You know 7 minutes ago when I asked how the UK could humiliate itself more?

Reports saying that rees-mogg’s ERG lot have got enough letters to have a no-confidence vote in Theresa May.

I’m fed up with her but omg what will we look like to the rest of the world if we change prime minister now

Will this be a no confidence within the Conservative party or a full have to have an election no confidence. Your system fascinates and confuses me.
@monte3 within the conservative party, so only their members would be able to vote in this.
But confusingly, if they think there’s a chance they can win it, Labour could put a no confidence vote in parliament against the government but they don’t seem to want to do that until January if they do do it. If they won that then we have a general election

@monte3 They can change their leader, and therefore PM, without a general election. They don't have a majority though so a general election looks possible early next year.

Who within the party can replace her? Please tell me it isn’t Boris Johnson.@AndrewtheAlu
@monte3 good question lol. He looks like he’ll be one of the candidates. Sajid Javid lots of people are saying is fairly likely. Esther mcvey said she’d try [i]if someone asked her[/i] so hopefully no one has

@monte3 It could be. He didn't run against May though because he didn't have enough support from MPs

Seriously is there a way out of the Brexit mess?@SW-User
@SW-User @monte3 lots seem to think that tory MPs (understandably) don’t like Boris very much so wouldn’t help nominate him for the members’ vote
@monte3 I wish

@monte3 Difficult to see an easy way out at the moment.

She was a “presenter”? She was on a tv show first?@AndrewtheAlu
@monte3 I think she was a newsreader or something but I hadn’t heard of her then
monte3 · 70-79, M
Well that is more qualification than being a reality tv person. @AndrewtheAlu
@monte3 that depends who she was newsreading for lol
