I think it'll be about Northern Ireland. Westminster officially taking back full control.

Surely they would need to hold their own vote first ? WM control would only be a possibility if a vote resulted in total deadlock ?

You are probably right.

I can't see this happen, surely such an announcement would result in violence in NI?

She's pregnant and needs to take year off. Boris in charge for the brexit negotiation period.

Boris the father?

Wings Over Scotland normally a good analyst of political jiggery-pokery, thinks a GE gains nothing for her or the Tories. Leaning towards a resignation.

Can't see a snap General Election. I don't think legally she could call it in this way anyhow but regardless of how poorly Labour are polling, under FPTP you can't see them actually losing more than 20 or so seats net.  On the other hand, there's a serious risk to the Tories from the Lib Dems in pro-Remain, former Lob Dem constituencies so they could end up being no better off in terms of their majority.
