I think Gove would be best caretaker PM, another bloody remainer, but he has far more about him than May.

His speech back in January in the HOC was superb.....

Well worth watching.
Yup, he is a good orator.

Not universally liked, but I think he would take more of a fight to Labour and make mincemeat of Corbyn at PMQ.

I'm not a big fan, I understand that he has won some supporters within the environmental groups who were surprised at his understanding of the topics and the policies he was/is pushing.

When she woke up this morning indeed if she actually slept at all I am sure that most people in her position would have had the thought of "I really don't need this st" and who could blame her. She may well be the architect that brings about her own downfall but who in their right mind would want to be PM at this point in time. I would suggest anyone who does want this position now clearly isn't stable enough to deserve it.
I believe she just wanted to be PM whatever the situation and saw this opportunity, possibly the only likely opportunity of her political career.

Like a second officer accepting the captaincy on the bridge of the Titanic she's doomed.
This
Yep, when trying to convince us all that she was the PM the UK needed, she did say that she was the right person for the job, to steer the UK out of the EU after the vote indicated the majority wanted out. Brexit means Brexit, she said on many occasions.

She wanted to be PM, she told us she was more than up to this job. I have no sympathy for her. Seems that in her dithering, she has upset both remainers and brexiters in equal measure. Clearly, she never intended for the UK to leave from the off.

I do wonder how big the out vote would have been if there was an equal bias in the MSM, rather than (seemingly) 95% remain.

She has proven herself to be remarkably stubborn and I can't see her jump, I also don't see any legal way she can be challenged at this time,
Agreed, think she's now about to go into full on Dr Strangelove mode

I said it as I meant he is another one you can never really trust.

I'm not sure if he is a true leaver? Never tell with him.

Of course he says the right things, but I'm never quite sure about him, slippery little toad.

The minute he gets in he will probably say "We need a second referendum." haha

sadly there is not one politician in the country who has even a remote chance of bringing people together.

I'd rather see the Queen take charge than Gove.

The only chance May has now is if she announces we are going to leave on the 29th with No Deal.

Half of the country will think she is wonderful.

Of course half will think she is crazy, but if we do well even they will look back and have to admit she did a good job.




Hasn't she called all the Brexiters to Chequers this afternoon?

He's made a mess of a number of ministries. However, he seemed to be doing a good job in the Lord Chancellor's office, certainly far superior to his replacement, but was removed before he had a chance to show his worth.

His biggest negative is his appearance, but running second is that he does/says silly things without thought. On top of that, he trusted Johnson and that shows a poor judge of character.

He'd probably do a decent enough job, and he'd be better than many other leavers. So he won't get the job.

Edited to add:

I've just gone on his page in Wiki. Not a pleasant experience with his photo in the top right.

I think that ship's effectively sailed.

She's a remainer and she's played the delay card so the 29th looks like a bluff. I don't disagree with your conclusion if she were to go no deal though, even she goes no deal in however many weeks delay we're looking at she'd probably get more support around the country than for her current approach.

UK isn't leaving on the 29th, why are people still discussing that date?

I thought the extension was conditional on parliament passing her deal this week? So no passing, leaving Friday 29th with no deal.

Moved to April 12th with a further extension after that to tie up the formalities, but only if her deal passes through Parliament. I believe.

I am minded of Paul Eddington who became PM by accident I can see this happening again with BoJo or Gove they happened to turn left rather than right and ended up being voted into No.10
What a total and utter Farce. Yes Prime Minister is actually more realistic
