And Labour will have a no-confidence motion tomorrow, so we will find out tomorrow if there will be a general election

this has been your british politics correspondent AndrewtheAlu 😂

I can't see a no-confidence vote succeeding though. Conservatives won't vote to potentially lose their seats will they? And even if they did....I can't see anyone except the tories winning a general election anyway? (sadly)

Like you I expect no confidence vote to be defeated and May to continue as PM

@SW-User If May was smart, she'd arrange to lose it & go to a general election - if she wins, it strengthens her hand to do whatever it is she actually wants, if she loses then it's someone elses problem/catastrophe

of course if May was smart, y'all wouldn't be in this position in the first place.

@firefall Having an election to strengthen her hand worked great before.

@thatscottishguy Yup. That went really well the first time round.
