General Election called for June 8th

Tory leader in Scotland, Ruth Davidson, is, unsurprisingly, said to be 'less than enthusiastic' about possible arrangement with the DUP.

torys have no choice keep her till least the conference let david davis do brexit talks then replace her they have no choice to use DUP to get stuff through because no one else will touch them and if there is an election in the next 6 months Labour will win as corbyn has momentum.

bet george osbourne is fucking pissed he gives up his seat one of the safest in country and then theresa may does that

cant see much of a deal with dup apart from them helping pass queens speech and budget because any more the scottish torys might split. also to much help and it will look bad for the good friday agreement and thats a treaty

SNP are in denile to all the snp pundits ive seen on tv keep talking about how corbyn effect did for them hmmmm how come the tories got double the Labour seats

Theresa May 'told to sack advisers or face challenge on Monday'

Fiona Hill has now resigned as well.

Question is, is this enough to pacify the tories and keep May in power for now? The sacking of these two was being pitched as seeing if May would accept some responsibility for the result, and indeed, actually acknowledge that the result was less than good. If they both resigned of their won accord rather than being sacked, then May hasn't moved, so maybe the tory hard-nuts will still be after some blood from her in some other way.

It's certainly not arrogance, more desperation. Be realistic - where else can they turn?

Given that she has been exposed as utterly useless, and a terrible campaigner, I can't imagine that the Tories would even consider going through another election with May as leader.

The real problem they have is who to replace her with?

What makes you think they are going to do that?

What SOCATOA hasn't noticed is that nobody in the Conservative party has come out and backed May. In fact the senior Tories have all mysteriously vanished, Boris etc unavailable to the media and not commenting. I think Ruth Davidson is the only senior Tory that the media can get hold of.

It will be open warfare within the CONservatives, and you are forgetting David Davis backed her plans when this coalition of chaos was first muted.
