PM faces growing dissent from party members.

Theresa May’s visit to China to discuss trade has been overshadowed by her attempts to quiet the growing mumbling regarding the stability of her position as PM following recent comments from within the Conservative party.


She faces both internal strife between the so called ‘hard and soft brexiteers’  led by Jacob Rees-Mogg and the Philip Hammond respectively, as well as more direct criticism from people like former DexEU minister George Bridges.


His comments in yesterday’s House of Lords debate of the withdraw deal are an obvious attack on May’s ability to manage the growing schism within her own cabinet, let alone successfully steer Britain to an amicable conclusion to Brexit negotiations with the EU.

 

If this continues and ministers cannot agree among themselves on the future relationship the government wants, how can this Prime Minister possibly negotiate a clear, precise heads of terms of the future relationship with the EU?

Extract from Bridges comment in the Lords yesterday.
