Don't often hear this level of honesty in politics!

Unfortunately they’re only ever that honest when about to leave their post - he’s stepping down at the next election.

Again, it's another embarrassing mess. I still don't get the idea that it's ok to force MPs to vote against their constituents wishes under the threat of being thrown out.

I understand the idea of whipping the party on votes of national policy but trying to force through a vote for fracking which is notoriously divisive and goes against their manifesto promises was pretty daft. Not an unusual state for this government admittedly.

I will confidently predict that despite the shit storm of the past few weeks nothing will change until they are forced to call a General Election.

Sky news saying she is about to announce her resignation.

Just saw the BBC update for that as well. 45 days? Impressively bad

Who's turn next?

Gone!

10 days were national mourning.

At what point can someone, anyone... step up and say "enough's enough" and force a general election? This is insanity.

Who the hell would want the job now?

Politicians being politicians though, clearly someone will still be desparate enough. Which is not promising.

How does that happen though?

Wouldn't it need a VoNC in the Gov't, which would mean Con MPs voting against their own Gov't (not impossible at the moment!). Unless there's another way.

Surely they mean 119 days *before* dying ??
