Does a PM have to resign, can they be fired? Wondering if the position shows there’s no confidence, the incumbent could ignore that and just crack on?
Oh, edit that. Brady was called in, so she’s going to sack him

She can't do that - he's elected by the conservative MPs. He is the one in control of the rules by which she could be removed / sacked by Tory MPs.
Technically, the rules say they cannot sack her in the first 12 months. However, if a majority of MPs vote to change the rules, they can be changed. So in effect - if a majority of MPs want her gone, she would be gone.
The impossible bit seems to be what happens then.
