Premature after all. She won't go tonight. And 1922 choked again. But Leadsom is out!
Who's next?
Any predictions on the EU elections? Will the Tories perform under 10%? Wouldn't be surprised.

Re: Who's the next PM
It can only be Boris - in which case it probably won’t be. The front runner never wins in Tory leadership contests and he’s p****d off too many people in the Parliamentary Conservative Party to get on the membership ballot paper. That being said he’s likely to be the only contender to put Corbyn to bed. Will today’s shellacking in the polls focus minds? We’ll see.
