This is peak Theresa May. She says she’s standing down before the next election. MPs say, do you mean in 2022 or do you mean if there’s a snap election. She says, I’m ruling out a snap election. They say, well, OK, but you ruled out the last snap election. She says, it wouldn’t be a good idea to have a snap election. They say, yes we know, but the last one was an incredibly stupid idea and you did it anyway. She says, nothing has changed. They say, does that mean you’d still call a stupid snap election that you’ve ruled out, just like last time? She gets confused.
Someone takes control and breaks her out of the divide by zero error, and says, OK, but if there were a snap election, would you still be leader for that? And she says, yes, I will be leader for the snap election. That I’ve ruled out. But I will not be leader for the next election, after the snap election which isn’t happening, I’ll stand down before that one.
And today in PMQs, while being battered by Corbyn she accidentally said that the “meaningful vote” had already happened and was the referendum, and that if he wanted her to confirm a new date for the vote she just cancelled out of total cowardice, it’d be the 29th of March.
