Theresa May, to quote a Tory peer to me, is the "mummified corpse" of a Prime Minister. For #Brexit this is a problem 1/
Europe would rather have May than Boris or other blue-sky Brexiteer to negotiate with but... 2/
As thing stand they cannot trust she has authority to negotiate. Boris has destroyed that by publicly undermining her. /3
EU notes May held Florence lines at conference, but asks if she can enforce them in negotiations? Or she she wills be there by Xmas /4
And if May goes, and is replaced by Boris or Davis, then we must presume Olly Robbins goes to. Will he be there by Christmas? 5/
So when Robbins enters talks next week. Or May enters EUCO leaders summit in Oct 19-20 they are both wounded animals. /6
Can a wounded animal really lead the herd?

Only sacking Boris could restore her authority in Brussels

How long after that wd May last?/7
The uncertainly would persist. So either way May is finished.

And yet settling Cabinet fight over Brexit will be bloody and chaotic. /8
Corpse or chaos. That's the choice now.

With the #Brexit clock ticking the muddle-through feels over. 9/ENDS
