Opinion – Theresa May braced for a fall as Brexit tests loom – FT – John Gelmini

The “default option” of May remaining is not an option at all because the longer she remains the worse the situation with the EU will get and the more unpopular the Conservatives will become.

The Conservatives need to mobilise the 1922 Committee and advance someone black and telegenic, like Kwazi Kwarteng, the “Big Beasts” all have the whiff of death about them and are all frankly past it and not trusted to boot.

There is no need for another election but there is a need for a new leader, the selloff of Channel 4 which is very left wing and the privatisation of the BBC. They both need to be neutralised by taking them out of the equation and ensuring that they cannot keep setting the agenda.

With a new Prime Minister, who would appeal to the young, Jeremy Corbyn would find it hard to compete with him and many of his followers would find the “Uncle Tom” label rather difficult to pin on that new Prime Minister.

The shadowy far left members of Momentum that Dr Alf frets about and Len McClusky’s trade unionists would then be torn between their own ideology and the new reality of a young ethnic minority, educated Prime Minister who can take them on and never had a silver spoon in his mouth.

As I reflected on this article, a couple of themes emerged.

Firstly, the Brexit vote was largely supported by less well educated working class people in England outside London. These are the same people who have suffered from austerity. This large group of people at the instigation of puppeteers, like Farage, have completely ignored the prevailing evidence from experts – believing that ‘they would say that wouldn’t they to protect their interests’.

The second theme is that older voters disagreed with their children and grand children and voted for Brexit. This is the group that want to stop the foreigners and put the…
