Observe:
Former chancellor George Obsorne, now editor of a free London newspaper (more litter clogging up the Underground):
Quote:
I worked very well with Theresa May and I think she has intelligence and integrity.
Clearly if she’s got a worse result than two years ago and is almost unable to form a government then she I doubt will survive in the long term as Conservative party leader.
But you know we are all talking about a poll. So I’m nervous of making certain statements but look, the problem she will have if it’s anything like that number, she’s got Irish unionists … that does not get you necessarily to 326 and the Liberal Democrats on 14 here ... are so unlikely to go into coalition with the Conservatives this time round, not least because they’ve made commitments to things like a second European referendum.
So I look at those numbers, I helped put together the Coalition in 2010 and you could make the numbers quite easily add up if you could get the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives to come together. I look at these numbers, you can’t make them add up.
