he BBC have just answered that (with a graph) which looks like:
May 36 in 2 years; Blair 29 in 10 years; Thatcher 25 in 11 years; Major 23 in 6 years; Brown 17 in 2 years; Cameron 14 in 6 years. So that's one thing May's beaten all comers at.
Don't overlook Jezza, he "won" the last general election after all. Corbyn's shadow cabinet managed 63 in 17 months (not sure what the total is now given that was two years ago).May 36 in 2 years; Blair 29 in 10 years; Thatcher 25 in 11 years; Major 23 in 6 years; Brown 17 in 2 years; Cameron 14 in 6 years.

The only one who won’t resign is the Maybot
She’ll be the only sitting on the Govt benches
She can’t resign , she hasn’t been programmed to resign She’ll be the only sitting on the Govt benches
She knows she has to wait it out until Friday after the Tories are obliterated in the EU Elections by Brexit Party and others, she may make one more dash to Brussels to beg and cry saying this Parliament is trying to frustrate things and she needs a little more time...
Leadsom going, and perhaps a couple of others might make her take stock of things, but I think she's not allowing any more ministers to visit Downing Street, to tell her to resign...
Jamie's Italian has a better future than her at the moment
If she does resign the future of the nation is essentially in the hands of ~80,000 Tory party members (average age of 72 according to the Bow Group so hardly representative of wider society).
I know we have a parliamentary system of democracy however I think if there’s a change of PM there should also be a general election.

Not that again.I know we have a parliamentary system of democracy however I think if there’s a change of PM there should also be a general election.
There has been as many PM changes out of election as in term. May and Brown being the last two.

‘I’m a mother’ Leadsom has quit.
Does she have such bad judgement that she thinks people would vote for her ?!!
Being a staunch Brexiteer in an area that voted leave I wouldn't consider it bad judgement especially as TBP has said it will not stand against brexiteer tories. Pay back for the election campaign too I would guess. Perfect timing.Does she have such bad judgement that she thinks people would vote for her ?!!
The nearly as equally incompetent Labour party must be loving the show
What a mess.
National embarrassment
I recall when Gordon Brown became Prime Minister there was a lot of talk about how it was the convention, when a governing party changed leader (and therefore prime minister) to call a general election so the voters could rubber stamp the change. Gordon Brown bottled it, because he thought he would be ousted and it was "his turn" so yah boo sucks, and everyone was outraged.
Is that still a thing, and the Tories will likely trigger an election or have they all done away with that now, and we will be stuck with Boris for two years instead of being able to elect Sir Nigel of Farage as the new PM before Oct 31st?

I think most people know that. The issue is that whoever replaces May will, There has been as many PM changes out of election as in term. May and Brown being the last two.
A) Be in charge of Brexit and
B) There’s never been so few conservative members possibly making the decision.
So it’s a bigger deal than in most previous occasions.
Have been a staunch Tory all my life but Theresa May leading the blind is a total embarrassment. She is certainly the worst Tory PM in living memory (not worse than Tony B Liar and the coffers are empty Gordon Brown). I would hope BoJo succeeds her but he would have a very difficult task getting MPs behind him but could become a hero if he tells the EU to FRO and you ain’t getting our £30bn.
Fully expecting a Tory and Labour wipe out by the Brexit Party in EU elections today. What about Farage for Deputy PM?
