• Surely the only direct route to a 2nd vote is with May still in charge

    I don't see how this is the case. There aren't the votes in the commons for a second referendum. May is very obviously opposed to a 2nd ref. This doesn't change without a general election.

  • If the Tories, and the other Brexit parties get enough of a battering in the local and EU elections then they may decide to replace May with someone who is not married to Brexit. Problem is how- they can’t use 1922 as the members will put Boris in, and they can’t allow an election as they might lose. They need, somehow, to reduce their possible PM contenders to someone who can be re-elected, or failing that allow them back in directly after Corbyn spends four years soaking up the blame for pushing Brexit through. To do that they need to shed the nutters and try to project an air of competence- although that may well be impossible.

  • Ah, maybe project 'shed the nutters' has just started with Williamson. I await with interest which other spurious charges will be cooked up for all the others. :)
