Theresa May rules herself out of standing for prime minister: ‘I’ve been there, done that’

  1. “Fucking up the country once should be enough for anyone. I would like to let another Conservative colleague have their turn.”

  2. This is how empty the Tory barrel of talent is.

    They’re scrabbling around looking for anyone of worth and are finding nothing.

  3. This is the perfect picture for that story. Why fuck about being hated in Downing Street when you can open chocolate shops for a living. I suspect she further endorsed said shop by trying and enjoying the products. And I respect that.

  4. Well spoken. She was a sacrificial PM, always designed to be ejected once the Brexit negotiations hit reality.

    The situation now is worse.

  5. Be thankful Cameron doesn’t resurface as a candidate. Imagine if he comes in and then plays on a plot to rejoin the EU – everyone forgetting he was the one that brought the wreckage upon us all. Not to mention thinking UK would be kewl to drop bombs in Syria against the wishes of normal Brits.

  6. We’re getting to the point where I’m wondering whether I need to start telling people that I’ve ruled myself out of being Tory leader

  7. I didn’t agree with her on anything (that I can recall at least), however she was still better than Johnson and Truss combined. She was the first to drink from the poisoned chalice that was PM after the Brexit vote and her entire legacy would be based on that. She was never going to have it easy or succeed, something that still dogs her now.

  8. Don’t see why she would want to go back to having people wanting to stab her in the back again.

    She doesn’t seem all that bad as an MP either, enjoyed her having a go at Johnson every chance she got the last few years.

  9. A true chocoholic would just bosh a bunch of chocolate coins, 3 packs of milky way stars and an out of date advent calendar behind some bins at 9 am on a Tuesday.
