The Government machine is going to be so tied up with Brexit that they'll have little time for anything else.
The Tories are caught between a rock and a hard place. They are deeply divided on Brexit so are papering over the cracks, but any deal brokered with the EU is going to expose that divide and see some of the party oppose it, as it's either too hard or too soft.
They know they need to get rid of May, but no-one believes they can unite the party so aren't prepared to challenge her.
They also know that if Brexit happens, the shock to 'hardworking families' will be very real, and then they'll be tainted by their association with Brexit and lose the next election.
It's a shit show.

Well, of course. In the meantime she's a block to progress, actively damaging the country, and possibly giving the Tories time to reorganise.
My point was just that those who say she's not really in power forgets that she still has the entire machinery of government at her disposal.
I don't really know how this works, but has there even been a vote on the prime minister in Parliament yet?
