Would May be the shortest PM in office ever?

Since Andrew Bonar Law in the 20s, yes.

Lol Bonar Law (one of the funniest names in political history)

What about H. H. Asquith?

Tories still poised to pick up seats in Wales and Scotland...perhaps not just the England-only party going forward...

...nah.

Good. I like her. May should have remained Home Secretary.

I don't see why losing seats would result in the Tories turning to a leader further to May's right. How are they going to get a majority for her? The Lib Dems or the SNP aren't going to support PM Patel.

Given the general news that the Tories seem to be tanking in London (not really all that shocking; even when they were thought to be headed for a landslide, London was the weak point), I think quite secure.

theoretically any high turnout in Labour areas shouldn't influence the exit poll - that's not the way that they do this
