Theresa May won the leadership challenge, 200 against 117. It's a pyrrhic victory.
So the situation now, is that we have PM who doesn't have the full confidence of her party. And she's said that she won't lead the party into the next election. So she's a lame duck.
However, the rules of the party say that there can't be another leadership challenge for 12 months. So she's armour plated. An armour plated zombie lame duck.
And we still have the same Brexit problems that we had last week.
So May is kicking the can down the road a bit more; the parliamentary vote on the May Brexit plan, won't happen until after Christmas. And January is two months before March. Meanwhile she's touring Europe in the forlorn hope that the deal that has been laboriously agreed, can be renegotiated. No chance.
O Albion, what will become of thee?
