A total of 40 MPs in Britain's Conservative Party have agreed to sign a letter of no confidence in PM Theresa May, according to a report. The figure still comes up short of the 48 needed to force a new leadership vote.

I'm no fan of Theresa May, but to me it seems she's at least not the one creating scandals and problems for the party, as have some of her ministers and MPs recently: Boris Johnson, Priti Patel, Michael Fallon and Charlie Elphicke. (PM May's popularity in the electorate is actually rising.) I could be wrong, but I assume the 40 conspirators are far-right Brexiters.

What would Margaret Thatcher have done?!
