May saying she'll go in 2 years. Trying to take some control and have a legacy of sorts me thinks.
Is she right and will she last even that long?
Surely by announcing the end makes her position even weaker? No authority at all.
Think if she's going she should go now.

I hadn't heard this, but if it's true I don't disagree, fancy working a 2 year notice!
 
Could be fake news as it's the Mirror online carrying the story.:o
 
Probably the worst PM ever, after Gordon Brown. As to who next? What a dearth of decent politicians. If it was to be a Tory, David Davies. If it was to be Labour, bring back David Milliband.

There was a worse pm in between those two. I can understand why TM might want out since she inherited a real poisoned chalice.

Unfortunately, I can't think of any current front bench politicians who seem like good candidates for pm at the moment. Maybe the tories could get Ruth Davidson to swap Scottish politics for Westminster?

Or wee Nicola? Don't like her politics much but at least she has some presence about her...
 
They need to skip a generation, they have time before the next election, don't bring in Davies or Boris as it will be just more of the same. Surely there is someone in the party who can connect a bit with voters? And don't even go near Rees-Mogg unless they want the party to turn into a nasty caricature of itself with Victorian dad at the helm. As I'm sure his posh upper class schtick will wear off very quickly indeed, if it hasn't already.
 
"May rumoured to be saying she'll go in 2 years." seems a better description!

Seems a daft thing to announce - for so many reasons!

Meanwhile, further down the article, (Only) "15 Tories have so far agreed to sign a letter of no confidence in the PM. It needs 48 to trigger a contest." might (or might not) be of greater concern - if indeed true! If true, I'd suggest these are quite likely simply those that strongly disagreed with the deal made (that had to be made with one of the 'opposition parties') with the DUP to stay in power!
 
Don't care, they are all as corrupt as each other, they all have sold their souls and they'll all crap on the population no matter which party they belong to.

Quite right, now a busted flush in Scotland but seen as a leader of the UK Tory party.
Good luck with that one.

Interested to hear why you think she's seen as a busted flush after leading the Scottish Conservatives to their best general election result in Scotland since 1983 only a couple of months ago.

I take it you are not up to date with Scottish Politics.

She has allowed a couple of banned Sectarian/Racist councillors back into the Scottish Tory party.
She went 'absent without Leave' for a couple of weeks and then she was 'economical with the truth' about the reasons why they were allowed to re-join.

BTW the election result was with the help of a carve up deal with Labour voters.

Well, when there was that Torry leadership contest, I don't think she wasn't aware that there was a referendum just before that. Did the party force her to stand, or was her ego bigger than her ability? As a former cabinet minister she should have had a good idea what the PM should be doing.
 
Not massively up to speed on Scottish politics or for that matter UK politics apart from the major stories as it's been a busy few months for me. Hadn't seen the story about the reinstated councillors but I don't recall Nicola Sturgeon being described as a busted flush earlier this year when one of the SNP councillors wasn't even disciplined for a racist twitter rant against the English.

I don't recall that SNP case, have you a link?.

It is not the re instatement re Colonel Ruth.......... it is the 'training' that she said the two councillors had [not] received.
