1/7
 Some brief initial thoughts on *possible* - b/c it’s by no means unequivocally guaranteed by her reported wording – May resignation & Tory leadership contest.
2/7
 May requires WA to pass in order to trigger her resignation, but has no majority without DUP backing.
DUP still say won’t back it, so unlikely to pass even if all Tory MPs voted for it, which they won’t.
So no WA passed, no resignation?
3/7
 Tories have no majority without DUP backing, even for ordinary Parliamentary business.
Electing new leader/PM while having HoC majority might be OK, but not with no majority.
General election needed..

Confirming yet again my argument from 3 weeks ago that the one of the two core influencers of May's Soft-Remain BRINO-Deal was & still is her naive susceptibility to the lobbying of the pro-Remain side of CBI-epitomised crony-corporatist Big-Business.

As I've stated before, arch-Remainer Clark has been May's behind-the-arras fixer of pro-Remain crony-corporatist Big-Business' participation in Hammond/Treasury's #ProjectFear MK II about No-Deal, by reassuring them UK wld stay in CU come what may.
bbc.com/news/business-…
Remember, @BrexitStewart, only last month at @ConHome, revealed Clark still refusing to divulge details of alleged assurances to Nissan that UK *would* stay in CU, whatever was being said publicly, & that the Irish backstop "wheeze" would achieve that.

Re-issuing, but as single thread, 11 tweets from over last 3 days, each one linking to different commentator, but all justifiably criticising May's Tories for their abject failure to come up with any ideas to counter hard-Left Corbynite-Labour.

Judge for yourselves. . .

Yet another VG diagnosis of May's Vichy-'Conservatives' combined political ineptitude & ideological vacuum, by Janet Daley.
Corbyn's apparent supporters are inveterate consumers, not marxists, but Miliband-Lite May Tories have totally failed to notice it.

Another who totally understands the political cul-de-sac in which the Vichy-'Conservative' Party has voluntarily trapped itself.
Dominic Lawson in @thesundaytimes on the impossibility of their credibly opposing Corbyn policies which are also their own.

THREAD 🧵🤓

🗳 What are #Brexit Indicative Votes?

🤔 How will the process work?

💡What ideas have been tabled?

🚨 Bare with me on this one... hopefully it’s worth a couple of minutes ☕️ 🚆 🚌
On Monday, MPs approved Sir Oliver Letwin’s proposal to give control of the Commons Order Paper on Wednesday 27 March to backbench MPs so that they could hold indicative votes on alternatives to the Prime Minister’s #Brexit deal.
The decision to back ‘The Letwin Amendment’ was seen as controversial as it disapplied a Commons rule - Standing Order 14(1) - which says that the Government largely controls what business is debated in the House.

@IanDunt to the point as ever.

“Slipperiest motherfuckers on the face of the planet.”

Oliver Letwin’s motion passes. Parliament IS beginning to get power back to the house.

About sodding time.
So Wednesdays (rather than Grieve’s Tuesdays motion) will be handed over to Parl to control the agenda.

Now it is Beckett’s motion to determine that the Gov WILL seek a further extension from the Eu to avoid no deal.

At least the house is showing muscle VERY late in the day
So the government has to allow a vote on extension IF the U.K. is 1 week away from NO DEAL.

Not great but a lot better than where we were.

Maybe. Just maybe Parliament is getting its Mojo back

#poll If there was a Snap General Election, who would you vote for?

(For other parties, please vote them in comments)

Please RT once Voted! 😃
1997: Blair 13.5mn votes
1997-2015: Blairites/ Others lost 180 seats & 5mn voters
2017: Corbyn 12.8mn votes/ Gained 32

2019:

add first time voters (75% of those who vote, vote for Labour)

Subtract 2% of the population, 80% of whom vote Tories!

Labour Landslide on the cards!
Lab’s share of vote could be 14.5+mn

Once we take into account first time voters- 16 or under at 2017

first time voters -never voted before, disenchanted by Blair years whilst

removing Tory support -loss of voters due to old age

=> Lab will gain 100+ seats from Tories alone

Let's learn from history.

Back in 1989/90, the Community Charge was introduced by Margaret Thatcher in Scotland and then England and Wales. You probably remember it as the Poll Tax. Despite it being hugely unpopular, Maggie pressed ahead with the policy.
Maggie's argument was that the people had voted for the policy - after all, it had been in the Tory manifesto that had given her another landslide - so she had to deliver it and they could not change their minds.
There were protests and some of them were pretty violent. Maggie said that there was no way that she would back down from the policy. Meanwhile, Tory MPs were hearing the upset from ordinary voters in their constituencies.
