Cabinet revolts against Theresa May, UK media reports

Date 23.03.2019

UK media reported late on Saturday that Prime Minister Theresa May was facing a cabinet revolt and may have to resign immediately.

The move comes just days ahead of a planned third vote on May's twice-rejected Brexit deal.

What we know so far:
The Sunday Times, The Telegraph and The Daily Mail reported on the potential coup, citing Conservative MPs.
All said an interim leader would be appointed to oversee the last weeks of Brexit negotiation.
The Daily Mail tabloid said Environment Secretary Michael Gove would likely take temporary leadership before a full contest in the summer.

The Times political editor Tim Shipman said "cabinet ministers have turned on May in a spectacular fashion," and are pressuring her to leave, though she has still not made a firm decision to do so. He added that May's husband was one of the few urging her to try and stay on as prime minister.

1. Oh great, now we'll get something even worse

Possibly Gove. Or Jeremy *unt.

5. The two people being currently touted...

...are Michael Gove or David Lidington (who I have never heard of if I'm honest)

If it gets to the Tory grassroots they will choose a hardcore Brexshitter like Michael Gove, Chris Grayling or Andrea Leadsom.

2. I do not understand why, after giving it "all" to comply with Brexit vote, seeing the demands for

REVOTE (and knowing full well the last referendum was "intentionally manipulated" ) WHY she won't go along with a REVOTE? It seems the ONLY answer at this point. And, after all, she was not originally a BREXIT supporter, so...

4. She's clearly very blinkered and inflexible

Which is one reason why she's been so terrible at negotiating Britain withdrawing from the EU. She's made what would be an incredibly difficult task to begin with even more difficult and fraught.

3. Kind of late but better than

letting her continue over the cliff. Sometimes, not often, I wish we could do that here... have a revolt and a new leader right away.
