Although she doesn't have to call a general election, she should. I think the Conservatives would win anyway and she'd have a much stronger mandate. It would be even worse if she u-turned on brexit decision without winning a general election.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Leadsom follows the new tradition of patriotic quitters. She will make Boris, Gove and Farage proud.
This one is more sultry.
Is there such a thing as a toff's laugh ? Her gesture is very similar to Nigel's.
Fecked up if you ask me. We will get a PM desperate to pander to the right wing side of her party. I feel fecking sick.
Thankfully Leadsom has dropped out, proved to be unfit to be PM before she managed to do any damage.
I feel that we have ended up with the best of a bad bunch.
Yeah me too. Better to have someone pandering to the right of the party, than the party actually be run by that wing.
Pander to the right? May is pretty right wing in her own, er, right.
Who did people want as PM as it appears every candidate here is unpopoular?
There are a disturbing number of people who would have Corbyn as PM.
I've basically been sulking since Charles Kennedy quit.
Her first duty as PM will be to deport all of the cats, I'm guessing? ow
A genuine good guy.
But he was Cameron's right hand man ,with him David falling surely Osborne had to follow to?Osbourne
Surely he has other issues to worry about rather than leading a country at such a tumultous time . Needs to get his own house in order .
There really doesn't seem to be any standout candidate.
I was only joking. What a time it is when you would rather Osbourne though.
Corbyn.
Wash your mouth out CM!Osbourne
Angela "I am the" Eagle please.
No white text?
No white text again.
As much as I dislike Theresa May, I still probably would.
Too human, doesn't make a good politician. I'd vote for him but not with the scumbags he has 'supporting' him in his cabinet
No jacket required
Read somewhere that the Tories are the most successful political party in western democracy.
You have to admire their ruthless efficiency. This referendum was supposed to plunge the Tories into civil war.
It's Labour that have imploded and I've fecked off to the Dems.

"I'm voting out because I don't want to be ruled by someone unelected by our people"
Jesus
A general election will sort that question out.
feck me you're tiresome. Thread after thread you pop up your head up from a French parapet moaning about the country you moved out of.
Will be the brownshirts be making a visit to shut me up - no free speech anymore eh? Congratulations Brexit - you cocked up big time!! Hip hip Hooray!!
You're hysterical. I'd turn your attention to your adopted country and Le Pen if I was you.
I voted remain by the way.
Le Pen is going nowhere, she's just a protest vote
Why I am I hysterical? Truth hurts
Small group of so-called "Remainers" on here defending Brexit for all they're worth
The more pressing issues are stability and that of the peoples choice for Brexit. She needs to get our negotiating position crystal clear before invoking a. 50. Once we have a plan and a strategy to achieve it then she should address the issues regarding a personal mandate. I'd say she'd need to go to the country in the spring. She'd be a fool not to with Labour as it is.
But opposition parties baying for a GE from the get-go is not in the national interest and would be a case of people sitting on the sidelines poking sticks into those who are trying sort out a mess just for the shear hell of it. It would be better if we work together to get the best deal for the country going forward than to start making stupid arguments about what mandate May has to govern. We are not one massive trade union demanding a vote on every single issue before we can move on to the next thing. The country would drown in bureaucratic shite. We can be 'democratic' in good time, right now we need stability and leadership.

So was the referendum. You should have learned at least that.
I didn't ask why you were hysterical.
Some don't view the world in black and white.
Conclusion - Get your blood pressure checked.
I don't understand that logic, the question of what kind of relationship we want with the EU is as equally important as whether we stayed in or not.
Voters didn't get any kind of information on what would happen if we left during the referendum. It should be be up to the parties to now lay out their chosen plan and then a GE will decide the mandate on one of the biggest issues of our generation.
How can someone who nobody knew would be leading the country decide on the path we take?
