1. Cross party talks go on today, #pmqs as normal too but 1922 backbench committee could be most important event in westmin today - narrow balance in group was to stop another leadership challenge to May a while ago... that could change, and change fast
2. One former minister, loyal to May til last time round, says she has to now go because ‘she is sucking up the oxygen her successor will need’ - Many others think changing rules now is crackers - attempts to oust her have produced sound and fury but no change so far
3. What most agree on though is if there were to be another confidence vote in PM by MPs, she wouldn’t survive it again - that’s why the meeting today matters - a rule change could set off chain of events that sees new PM before summer - whatever new deadline No 10 come up with
4. Last, chair of the 22, Graham Brady, saw the PM today asking her to be clearer about her intended departure date - her answer to him will likely emerge at some point later today
