Although she has come to some kind of agreement it seems that Theresa May’s days may still be numbered.

Although June wasn’t the end of May, her position is still precarious.
It was just after the election that Theresa May was given ten days to save the party. Those ten days have passed, but circumstances have changed little.
As well as a coalition which dare not speak its name there are still Tory MPs who are speaking up against Brexit. But the voices seem to be there outside Parliament too.

On Friday the 30th June about 9,000 people marched on the House of Commons urging her resignation. The situation doesn’t seem to be helped by the media bias showed by the Daily Mail and The Sun. Once upon a time this is what the Tory party relied on, but if it creates a picture of the unfair elite, the public may rebel.
It is highly likely that she will have a vote of no confidence in a few days, according to many British newspapers. The only problem is that apart from Boris Johnson there is no one ready to replace her and no one knows if Boris even wants to stand again.
It is not outside the realms of possibility that a “stalking horse candidate” would be created. This is someone who has no wish to be MP but would encourage potential Tory leaders to come forward. At the moment they are keeping their distance.
