So, and this is the essential question, is Mrs May trying to construct a deal to keep the Tory Party together or is her priority the country at large?
I feel that she has lost sight of the bigger picture. She should sack the Cabinet members that publicly rebel against her and run with the consequences. She will be judged by history more favourably as having stuck to the tenets of Cabinet Responsibility and principled Government rather that bending over to be rogered by Gove et al.
