Rumours that she might try to hang on. We'll see. I hope she does, she'll be torn apart at the next election even worse if she doesn't leave.

Hahaha she built a cabinet from factions she thought would otherwise undermine her. That works as long as you have the personal weight to bully them into your position.

Thatcher was quite good at this stuff and got Caesar'ed well and proper because it's every man for himself, with emphasis on the 'man' and 'himself'. O and making crazy promises to your electorate and members about Europe, as if it was something Britain was in charge of. For a 'conservative' party they individually display a poor grasp of history.

The Tories took a principled stance against Corbyn's terrorist sympathies and hostility to the Northern Irish peace process in the campaign.

The idea that they would turn around and go into government with the only party to oppose the good friday agreement is absurd!

The high five is a complex manuever, and Corbyn had an additional handicap of being very, very white.

It's probably not the worst bet you've ever made. The other main competitors got knocked out last night.Fallon is probably a better bet pricewise though.

this seems obvious, in all honesty. she thinks the cons won't dare further destabilize the party by proceeding with whatever parliamentary bullshit is necessary to replace a PM. she'll definitely hold up "not wanting to look weak in front of the leftists" as a reason to stay the line

unfortunately for her, her primary rival is boris, who i'm pretty sure is stupid and doesn't care

Boris cares about one thing: Boris being prime minister. He will never have a better chance, as everyone's shaping up to blame David Davis for the election, and all the other heavyweights are ex remainers or Michael Fallon. The knives will be out soon enough.

Apparently they're recounting his seat now. If Boris ends up going out... what happens then?
