    10/1, but wouldn't fancy it, even at tenfold. All that fluffing around with his hair and babooning around every day would wear thin quickly.

    The Brits - especially Tories - love a 'character' though. Jolly good chap and all that.

    The SNP were far too quick to play to the independence card after the Brexit referendum result. They should have waited in the long grass for a hard brexit to become a reality and then pounced.

    I suggest that if Tories need DUP , SF should vote in the Commons on a case by case against that

    My view is bizarrely scotland will save the tories , a Brexit party , ( and now likely to be hard brexit ) for a region that voted to remain

    ...!!!!!

    I am a Tory and would rather have Ruth Davidson as PM.

    Lab implied they'll 'do brexit' if they 'have to' (which at that time they had no position to argue). The LDems are not to be trusted with any promises, ask any student. The SNP love waving the EU flags. Add in a few more smaller parties to get over the line.

    If Labour do a u-turn on Brexit, they can kiss good bye to all their gains and more. This has been a very good election for Labour as the expectation were so low, but they are still a little off a majority. Rowing back on Brexit would be a May like political miscalculation.

    Not with a GDP of $2.849 trillion at risk, imagine those two (Donald and Boris) doing a few shots and messing around, with a couple of big red buttons in suitcases somewhere in the room. KimJingJangJuneUm would be bricking it.

    Nick Clegg is gone, the pound shop Tony Blair that he is.

    They wont row back on Brexit, but its likely to be prolonged and much softer, possible remaining in the customs union etc ( assuming movement issues can be resolved )

    A soft brexit would do wonders for labour in scotland

    personally I think the Tories will shade it , but that May will go, and the whole process will be massively damaged

    right now, its a run between England and Wales throwing out the Tories and bizzarly being frustrated by the gains in Scotland

    Is tonight the end of May as British PM?

    She's had an awful campaign. Job too big for her.

    If she sneaks a majority then I think she will stay on for a bit, but anything less and she is done,

    The sound of a toilet being flushed would be more apt. One more turd sent on its way.

    She's basically just said that other parties should basically back the tories to go on together. If they have most votes.

    She was very stuttery

    Yep, her voice was almost breaking, a Prime Minister utterly broken.

    Its part of UK politics. Happened many, many times before with all parties that have been in government.
