Conservatives are manoeuvring to succeed a broken prime minister
the most humiliating day in a prime ministership scorched by humiliations. Theresa May’s voice was so hoarse that she could hardly make herself heard. Philip May, watching his wife from the visitors’ gallery, looked thoroughly miserable. Storm Gareth rattled the roof of the chamber with Shakespearean fury. When it came, the defeat by 149 votes was a surprise to even the most pessimistic government flaks.
The result is one of the most bizarre leadership races in the Conservative Party’s history. All leadership races are odd because “he who wields the knife seldom wears the crown”. The party’s current rules add to the oddity because candidates have to appeal to two very different electorates.s whittle down the list of challengers to two and then the party’s 125,000 members make the final selection. But this race is particularly surreal.
