So the gentlemen of the left are mocking the Prime Minister for having an involuntary coughing fit. How noble of them.

Nah it wasn't the coughing it was the whole thing. Started with a grovelling apology & all just went to sh!t from there really.
Not all her fault (although what she was apologising for was) but does all seem symptomatic.
The F falling off the wall behind her just seemed too ridiculous, i reckon she was nobbled. After she had left the stage
another half dozen or so letters came down.

To be honest it is not really a laughing matter. We got the Keystone Cops at Labour and Laurel and Hardy in the Conservatives then we have. The real fear is not really the abandonment of the middle because we need some drastic change but what we could get.

The poor woman is out of her depth and has been from day one. She is an awkward geeky woman who has led a sheltered like at the vicarage. She is not a bad person but she has no empathy with people outside of her own circle. Even before today's disaster her body language has been of someone who wants out . She will not sleep tonight for sure and maybe for sometime to come. Resignation would be humiliating but she will want out asap. Who wouldn't, there are no positives.
Brexit, Boris et al, Corbyn,The Ulster Unionists,The Scottish Nationalist,Immigration,The economy. She aint tough enough to cope with it. A leadership challenge would do her a favour.

Her gang misappropriated  the Tory leadership by setting up Andrea Leadsome into mentioning May's inability to have children and using it to monster her.

She subsequently withdrew from the contest.

If it had gone to a vote amongst Tory members, Andrea would have won.
