Hammered and humiliated, Theresa May would quit immediately if she had an ounce of honour left.

She’s a busted flush, brutally stripped of authority in front of the eyes not just of 67 million Britons but 512 million Europeans.

At a moment of supreme national crisis an ailing, weakening leader in Downing Street is a liability we can’t afford.

Parliament’s crushing repudiation of her ridiculed Brexit scam is simultaneously an overwhelming rejection of the fading Tory leader herself.

Britain’s surely entitled to a General Election following the governing party’s gravest catastrophe.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn triggering a constitutional vote of no confidence vote in her crumbling regime will sort MPs acting as servants of the people from those arrogantly believing they’re masters.

Tories playing Downing Street musical chairs again, changing Prime Minister’s to avoid the real change we badly need, would shamelessly treat the country as a banana republic.

We are collectively poorer if we allow our country to be a plaything of the Conservative Party when this is a moment to take back control.

The Brexit fiasco’s a symptom of a deeper malaise when the bitterly divided Tory Party imposes self-defeating austerity and, as the Labour slogan charges, represents the few not the many.

Democracy would be completed by holding another Brexit referendum after the General Election to discover the will of the people on the specific question of Britain’s future in Europe after the lies and illegality of the 2016 poll.

Desperate May pushing for a second Brexit vote by MPs while denying people their right to decide what happens next would be sheer hypocrisy.

If a wrecked PM attempts desperately to cling on in No 10, pretending nothing has changed, she might well be deposed by a Cabinet revolt.

That’s no substitute for the desired General Election when so much is at stake.
