Are the newspapers not getting bored with repeatedly predicting the imminent demise of Theresa May?
She's been supposedly on the verge of leaving for months, if not the entire term of her leadership. And yet there she stays, seemingly immune to all attempts to unseat her, like a lich queen glued to her throne, whilst the allegedly human ministers gurn uselessly in her toils, unable to deliver the fatal headshot or destroy the final horcrux or whatever the hell it would actually take to get rid of her.
Meanwhile, we continue to lurch toward zombie Brexit, every single one of us sick to the back teeth of the whole omnishambles.
Possibly related: I voted in the European elections today.

I think part of the issue is that there's no strong motivation for anyone to depose May, because no-one with the power base to get the party behind them is actually nuts enough to want a no-deal Brexit ON THEIR WATCH, but none of them are going to find it any easier to pass the deal, and none of them want to repeal A50 (or at least think they could get away with it). So in many ways, better to leave May in position to take the fall, and take over later, when you have the vague change of being able to do Heroic Leadership In National Crisis stuff....

It must feel a bit funny for the Brits to be voting in this EU election, for the return of 73 members to the European Parliament they are so intent on leaving this year. It’s like still being at a bad party at 2am when you had planned to leave at 8.30pm.
