I am also curious if @Oliver Schick still thinks this after yesterday.

Yes. I still haven't seen anything to convince me that May's demise is imminent. Obviously, the big question is whether she'll get 'The
Deal%$@!¬*&' through Parliament. If she does, she's set to stay (and the aforementioned Great Triumph will have been play-acted). If not, then there's still a chance they won't replace her. Rees-Mogg might get his letters of no confidence together if she loses the vote, so that might happen, but I'm still can't see enough Tory MPs voting against her. But, as ever, I really have no good understanding of this and I hope I'm wrong.

I really think you are constructing fantasies, Neil.
As I've said before, I think May will be Prime Minister until 2021, by which time the Tories will have implemented the Boundary Review. May sacked Osborne, who was behind much of the gerrymandering plans, and tried to go it alone based on the polls, and fell flat on her face. Not quite flat enough, leading to this current limbo situation, but the resurgent Labour Party means that no-one, not even Boring Johnson, will challenge her in her weakness, despite his sabre-rattling. (Then again, he's such an incompetent politician that he may risk it, who knows? We'll see if being funny on TV translates into electoral success again. He's just part-ditched a massive liability which means that he may dare to try again.) Now she's discreetly going back to some of Osborne's plans.
I really, really hope I'm completely and utterly wrong.
