      Maybe she's been inspired by events in Turkey and is going to hold a referendum on giving herself more power without all that tedious mucking about with Parliament and democracy.

      Or probably more likely, skip the referendum part.

        Think so. She hates being PM.

            She's just having a lie in. Nothing to see here.

                  Nah, announcements like that don't come from Downing Street, AFAIK.

                  I tend to think she could be resigning on health grounds. An early election is easily engineered (e.g. by repealing the FTPA), but she's been adamant about not doing this, and she generally sticks to what she says, like it or not.

                    Okay lets do this. She resigns. Boris becomes PM.

                    ARGH
