Prime Minister Theresa May has announced her resignation - Ben Wray takes a look at what brought about her demise, and why the Tory party's troubles may not be over yet

WELL that's that, then. Theresa May announced the end of her premiership on Friday, a three year tenure which may have achieved less than any ever before her, for good or ill.

Prime Minister Theresa May has offered up one last throw of the dice with her new Brexit deal to try to secure a majority in the House of Commons. Ben Wray takes a look at whether it has any chance of success. 

THERESA MAY has played her final hand.

Beyond the Noise with David Jamieson is a weekly podcast with CommonSpace journalist David Jamieson, where he gets behind the 24/7 news cycle and gets to heart of issues, trying to find the substance behind the headlines.

IN THIS week's podcast David Jamieson speaks to author Paul Mason about his new book, ‘Clear Bright Future: A radical defence of the Human Being’, and how his belief in radical humanism relates to the politics of Britain and Scotland in the Brexit crisis.

Mason and Jamieson discuss:

CommonSpace editor Ben Wray says that with May on her way out, a furious Tory membership smitten by Farage will now pick the Prime Minister and dictate the Brexit strategy – unless democrats unite and fight for a General Election

THERE is a consensus among the chattering classes (at least the ones on Twitter) that the upshot of Theresa May’s meeting with the Tory backbencher 1922 Committee today is that she will, one way or another, be gone by Summer. 

Polarisation between Scottish and English voters next week could reignite the sense of democratic outrage over Brexit, and reinforce the necessity of independence

SAME as it ever was, it’s happening again.
