Is her time nearly up?
I have called for Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, to bring forward a motion of no confidence on this current government but it turns out that 40 Tory MPs may be ready to sign a letter of no confidence which would force a leadership election within the Tory party. How many Prime Ministers can we have in the span of five years?
According to sources such as the independent, Metro and Sky News:

Theresa May could be facing a challenge to her leadership if enough of her MPs sign the letter of no confiedence and it gathers support and I think this is fantastic news. First of all, I don't believe that Theresa May should of put herself up for the leadership after David Cameron resigned in the first place because I believe that someone from the Leave campaign should of been elected because it made the most logical sense in my mind. They caused this damage and it is now theirs to deal with so it was surprising to me to see Theresa May put herself forward and elected after she supported Remain.
What was also surprising to me was to not see Boris Johnson put himself in the firing line after basically being in charge of the Leave campaign and causing this crisis in the first place so he, quite shamefully, withdrew all responsibility when he refused to put himself forward for the leadership. Someone owes the NHS A LOT of money, what about that £350m, Boris? Shame on on.
I would rather see the vote of no confidence brought forward from an Anti-Tory MP on the entire government which would in turn would most likely force another general election in the new year or in 2018 to hopefully get an anti-Tory majority and government in place to deal with Brexit and the UK's future. I saw the 2017 Snap election as a second chance to right the wrongs of the 2015 election and get a new government in place right before the Brexit negotiations began, that didn't quite happen but the Tories did loose their majority so that was one step closer to finally getting shot of them. It was shameful for them to give £1b of tax payers money to Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party to have a support and supply deal, therefore risking the Good Friday agreement and peace in Northern Ireland, when just a few weeks ago, Theresa May said on question time that there was not all the money in the world to fund all the things we want, well apparently that doesn't extend to keeping the Tories in power does it? Hypocrites.
Politics in the UK is such an unstable place right now when the our government has risked the future of our country, Scotland's place in our union and our future in Europe in the world at every opportunity that they have been given. It is such a disgrace.
