Let's try some tighty style links  -  "PM is a deadbeat dad"  Marina Hyde

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jun/09/theresa-may-gamble

A+  love the way she managed to get a dig in at tennis integrity and Corbyn too.  Marina Hyde is almost worth donating to The Guardian by herself.

When is the next election likely to be held?

Would the next election be basing on how the Tories get on with Brexit?

Are the Tories likely to have a new leader?

2018 seems most likely based on

I can't see any way the Tories fight the next election with TM as leader and October is the earliest any leadership contest could happen so another 2017 GE looks unlikely IMO.

"Now Brexit negotiations will be led by a PM who has all the political authority of a slightly damp Compare the Meerkat doll"


 



"I see she lost Kensington and Chealsea last night (average house price £1.4m) - how is it even possible for the tories to lose that."

Brexit!

Doesn't a vote of no confidence make an election mandatory?

Different between a party leader and the PM.  If the opposition call a vote of no confidence then the Govt can be brought down think Callaghan in 1979 when Gerry Fitt abstained.

I don't know the rules, but in Corbyn's case pretty much everyone assumed he couldn't survive a no confidence vote and he did.

probably crossed wires, I'm referring to "no confidence" in this context

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/14/section/2

ie it doesn't matter what the Tories do, if that motion passes there is an election.

Gavin Barwell ousted in election and parachutes straight back in as Chief of Staff a slap in the face to voters.
