Bets lads?
I really have no idea. I really hope it's not one of those graceful 'I've listened to colleagues, and for the good of the country etc' jobs. If she does go I want it to be a fire and brimstone, trashing the office and telling your bosses they're all ***** resignation.
I'm going to go for fighting on. She has pedigree on this and even if/when she does lose, I think she's going to do as much damage to Boris as possible to prevent him replacing her.
What would happen if she just called an election? There's a constitutional crisis in the making... 🙂
She'll do a Trump (fnarr fnarr) and claim the whole thing is a success, and carry on with her present course (of ignoring everyone).
Maybe she'll do a little dance again.
I really hope she does a dance when she comes on,I actually think that would make me not hate her if she trolled the entire country.
Don’t they record HIGNY tonight? They’ll be delaying that for almost as long as Brexit
Haha!
Its utterly doomed to failure but still she soldiers on.
because she's a robot
13 mins, this is too ****ing much so I got another round in. Three knocked back in 30 mins.
She'll call ERG's bluff and she'll declare a second referendum. Options of: 1. The Withdrawal Deal, 2. No-deal Brexit, 3. Remain. 2 out of the 3, she'll be seen as pulling off a victory.
Ken Clarke reckons she'll stay on.

Last Leg will be loving it
Farage is being interviewed now. I’m presently fantasizing about doing truly unspeakable things to him
Now, that really is a dark sexual fantasy.
Wow - politics has never been this exciting
system malfunction. 'strong and stable', 'brexit means brexit', 'getting on with the job' and 'i refer to my previous answer' on an increasing high pitched loop until smoke come out of her ears and she starts sparking.
‘Kin children in need 😠
😂
Kin children in need
There'll be a darn sight more of them if this goes through.
Do you reckon the forums software can cope with this much excitement?
Doubt it, it’s still a page behind

I know, it's pretty remarkable to think that one of the biggest Political Stories of 2014 was about Stamp Duty.
I long for the day Politics is boring again.
not quite the 80% in favour as touted by the minister 🙂
She's on her way to the podium..
Bill Cash has just been interviewed. Like the rest of these loons, the bloke is absolutely unhinged. They really are totally batshit crazy.
He was just banging on and on about regaining our sovereignty. It was repeatedly asked if it was worth massive economic damage to the country. He then just kept banging on and on about regaining our sovereignty.
Then he agreed that even the Bexiteers favourite economist has said that if the UK car industry went the same way as the coal industry, well that just means the economy will have to change. Then he returned to banging on and on about regaining our sovereignty
It must be nice to be in such a pviviledged position that you don’t have to worry yourself with little things like the economy imploding, massive job losses, huge rises in prices etc etc
But thats what these Brexiteer ****s all have in common, isn’t it? None of them have ever had to worry about how they’re going to pay next months rent, have they?
They’ll all just casually stroll away from the smoking rubble, completely unaffected
I had a heated discussion with my mam earlier today along these lines. She's my mam and all that but she's a ****ing idiot who wants it to be 1950 again and will never even use her blue passport FFS. "Britain should be making stuff again" was all she could offer up.
Is it delayed? The BBC hasn't cut to it yet?
Showtime...
Where? It's not on BBC news?
EY up, they have cut to it now.
Is Peston auditioning for a Beatles stage show?
He clearly hasn't a clue what she's gonna say either.
Huw Edwards is covering like a pro, managed not to ask a correspondent what they think the PM will be wearing yet
No way she doesn't come out and say, '**** you all, I'm going nowhere. Ye'll do NUTTIN'!
I bet she'll be telling us that she's staying on but will be gone by Monday morning.
#noBrexit please 🙂
On now.
She’s going to face the slime balls down(?)
Age old adages ring true.
You can’t polish a turd. Brexit is a turd.
I still hate her.
She's just trying to sell her (temporary) plan to the public… to push MPs towards backing it? Or something else…?
this sounds like her 'writing's on the wall' exit speech
boring
Nothing has changed.
is that it. ffs 🤨
She's got bigger balls than Cameron.......
There was just someone on the radio who's sent a letter of no confidence in the PM, but also stated that she hopes she stays, talk about fence sitting
This has been the pattern of it all. Fanfare then business as usual.
Well, I was half right. She said absolutely nothing.
She’s sounding quite ministerial, actually.
But how have we got to this point where a politician who, in my opinion, is not actually a bad person, is forced to play to the gammons by claiming that ending FREEDOM of movement is a good thing?
We are on the verge of a democratically enabled far right wing coup here.....
I didn't realise that if May wins a no-confidence vote, she is basically free and clear for twelve months.
I almost want her to win so to see the reaction of Moggster and his scum ERG minions.
It's like game of thrones. Build it up for an entire season to a big cliffhanger, then nowt happens.

maybe she's relieved that this is her last ever press conference
I had to admire her for that, that’s the political version of Rocky training montage.
As for JRM, if you aim at the crown, you best not miss, I don’t think he’ll find 48 Tories willing to stick their neck on the line for him. Time for him to **** off under the same rock as Bojo
As an European who lived in the UK for 20 years but left last year I can't stop laughing.
Then I remember that my wife is English living in France , we still have a house in the UK and who knows we might need to come back to the UK.
Sort of a delayed resignation speech. Getting the deal before parliment will see (in her eyes) as job done. Whatever happens then is out of her hands. If its rejected, I'm not sure how she could continue.
That moment when she went out for questions and nobody wanted to ask her anything was just kind of sad. Laura! Ask me something!
She’s got bigger balls than Cameron
True.
What other choice is there? This is the deal, poor or good, 💩 or sweet, she has to continue until they drag her out the house like a nightclub eviction by the bouncers...
Far from her biggest fan but would a change of leader really help the situation right now??

Depends,if your goal is a no-deal brexit an 11th hour change of leader sounds like a good way to do it.
Unless the new PM pledges a 2nd ref.
I guess, but this is a Brexiteer coup. I don’t think we’d get a Remainer PM out of it
It's a bit of a shame that...
jamby isn't here to tell us that May's playing an absolute blinder
Thm can't say the grown ups will sort it & May will pull it off
Ninfan here to blame multiculturalism
& Chewy to say 'bahweepgranaweepninybong it's all the fault of Brussles bureaucrats'
I would post more,but I'm currently having to console the Eastern European bar staff who serve me in my local.

The brexiteers can trigger the vote of no confidence, but they don't select the replacement candidates do they? Remember that remainers are a big majority in the Tories - this would be an ideal opportunity to get a remainer in as PM, they should walk it in as the MPs won't be beholden to their constituents on this issue will they?
It’s like game of thrones. Build it up for an entire season to a big cliffhanger, then nowt happens.
Needs more dragons but not the same level of nudity.
Tory mps whittle down any candidates to the final two - and then a vote amongst the membership for the final two. This means two remainers have to stand and be chosen by mps - who are overwhelmingly remainers so as to stop a leaver getting on the ballot for the membership - who would definitely support a leaver. My aunt is a staunch leaver and in Moggs constituency - she wants him as PM as does my cousin. I would be happy with Mogg as he is completely unelectable to the country at large and also clearly incapable of getting any deal
I'm starting to believe that she's actually played a blinder and managed to fudge it up so much that we actually remain. She was a remainer after all.
I would be happy with Mogg as he is completely unelectable to the country at large
As unelectable as Trump?
Mogg has no populist base big enough - trump appealed to disenfranchised rural working class. Mogg has no appeal outside of rabid brexiteers.
The last thing Mogg wants is any actual responsibility for sorting this shit out! That’d be a nightmare! Clearing up the shit you helped to create? Leave that to the grown ups!
He’s got what is his dream job..... the leader of the idiots throwing shit from the sidelines, while offering no alternatives and no answers. Just a double-breasted Boris.
Theyve seen where that got Corbyn where he inadvertently went too far and ended up having to (up to a point) do something about stuff rather than just endlessly gob off. They won’t be making that mistake!
Whats depressing is that people are too thick to see straight through these shysters

Ha! Yes I chuckled at that too, the whole room were waiting for her resignation and when that didn’t come they were dumbstruck and had no questions ready for anything else

Mogg doesn't care about a deal. He'll happily leave without one. A dangerous man
I'm not sure Jacob rich snob is as influencial as he thinks he is.
He's all pin stripe suits and fondling his glasses..
A bit like David Davis.
Yep, whether Rees Mogg could get a deal or not is irrelevant; he doesn't want a deal, he wants the worst possible disorderly brexit. The only thing he's worried about is no brexit at all.

Don't think that was it tbh, it was too predictable - I think they were just trying to find anything she'd said that had any substance that they could get into. Kuennsberg's question was soft as they come of course but even she delivered it like she was talking to a child. "You do realise you're in government but not in power?" Really pretty surreal.
Rees Mogg wins no matter what. Don’t think that his mates in ‘business’ have been idle. They’ll be cleaning up with all the currency volatility and the inside track coming from the slimy little shit himself. If it was business, it would be insider trading, but as it is a whole nation’s politics it is ok.
I’d like ten minutes with JRM in a soundproof room to express my feeling in the most appropriate manner. No implements required, although my hands might just be bloody stumps by the end.
dannyh
Could we take it in turns "re-educating" mogg please?
Anyway.....
As a remainer going for a second referendum.... I think overall I want her to stay.
Please don't confuse that statement as me saying I like her..... I f** mate the b**!
I really enjoyed my 3 hours of hope today.
A huge weight was lifted.
Shame it's back now.
