Theresa May - Dead woman walking?
I feel really sorry for her - she's been handed a poisoned chalice. No-one in the party wants the job at present and plenty of them are only too happy to make it as difficult as possible for her.

She has very little authority in her own party. How many more faux-pas can Bojo make? A stronger PM would oust him and stick him on the back benches.
That's the whole point though, she's not a strong PM, but she's stuck with a job no-one else wants.

Really? I think there are plenty of Hard-Brexit Tories ready to jump in her designer shoes.

Because she called a snap election that completely destroyed the little power and control that she had. Her arrogance was her downfall.

The advisors may have influenced her decision, but at the end of the day it was her decision to make.

Well yes sort of, but it was Michael Young's brainchild apparantly.
Meanwhile IRA & Hamza supporting Corbyn is still leader of the opposition

Woeful, since you ask.
It was the electorate who were her downfall.
My iPhone thinks Hamza & Hamas are the same thing
Being totally honest, absolutely ****ing awful.
However, it is saying something when her sh!tshow can't be overthrown by the inept Corbyn. If there was a hint of a decent opposition, May would have been toast by now

in 2017 Labour had the biggest increase in vote since 1945. May called an election because she expected to be 20% ahead of Labour but instead she lost Cameron's majority and had to buy herself back into government. It certainly wasn't the LibDems or UKIP that were taking her voters. She is awful but one of the reasons that is highlighted is because the Tory campaign was so much worse than Labour's and that the Tory manifesto was so much worse than Labour's. Without that comparison she may not seem so bad.
I agree that since the election the Tories issues have mainly been of their own making, but when they are making problems for themselves on a daily basis the opposition are well advised to let them get on with it. The only way Labour can capitalise is if enough Tory MP's seats come up for reelection. It's their's to lose.
