I felt for her with the speech, that was out of her control, but she needs to get a grip on the government otherwise this will continue. A lot of this is her own making by throwing away her majority and if she really is unable to to take action against her ministers then this is not a well-functioning government. At the moment she isn't so much moving forward as caught in a state of stagnation and she'll certainly be unable to get much though the commons at the moment.
Any moment now Patel will, finally, be out but only because it really did become untenable.
Really what else does May have to lose at this point? Might as well be bold and go for it since it's unlikely she leads the party into another election.
