May's got to go down as the worst, she's absolutely appalling in every way. She's trully pathetic, a walking disaster area, and this, normally, would on some level elicit a degree of sympathy and embarrassment on her behalf. But she's done so many atrocious things she doesn't even get that. She's almost unique as a politician in being universally despised. Sure there are other equally c**tish figures in politics, but they'll garner some support from somewhere, even if it's a lunatic fringe. May manages to be hated by all. It's her coldness, her complete lack of humanity that I think's the worst thing about her. She's communicates the aura of a total psychopath, literally capable of anything. There's a palpable disquiet, a fearfulness, while she remains in Number 10.

The only reason she's remained in post despite her innumerable f**k-ups is that she was put in place, specifically, to subvert a democratic outcome and make sure the UK remains tied to the EU. This will go down as her only success.

Confirmed she's meeting with Graham Brady on Friday.

The Tories problem is that they've already used up the Leadership challenge card and their party rules state can't use it for another 365 days so what will happen is Brady will ask her "If I give you a few quid can you swiftly and quietly f**k off" The problem is she can always say no LOL

Leadsom's gone. 
1 of many to follow to try and get her out.

The government is self-dismantling themselves and Nigel Farage is trapped on a bus surrounded by milkshake wielding youths, I bet the EU are sh*tting themselves.

To ignore the result on Friday and “carry on”, would become simple arrogance and hubris. Another defeat would be the third successive defeat in elections, apart from the majority loss in 2017, and the numerous Commons and Lords votes that have gone against her. You can’t suffer successive national defeats, and brush them aside. That would be contempt for the public will.

It always amazes me how John Russell never gets mentioned at the very top of these lists. A man who presided over one million citizens of the United Kingdom starving to death. How can that not make you, by a very long distance, the worst British PM ever?

you say citizen but it was very much a second class honour . the fact that the brits get shocked that we might have wanted to shoot our way out of the union shows how little they know or care

See the UN has overwhelmingly passed a resolution saying they should give back the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Some of the social media are the predictable Brexiteer idiots basically telling Johnny Foreigner, the UN and Mauritius to "do one".
