Ah ok
Theresa May has prioritised her party above her country.
The snap election, the refusal to appear on the live debate, the smear-campaign against Corbyn. She's a coward, not a leader.
Senior Tories (and Osborne) suggesting she won't survive, I assume they mean long term.

Bloody Scots turning to the Tories, otherwise they'd have been in real trouble.
What on earth possesses anyone in Scotland to vote for the Tories over Labour?
Angus Robertson loses his seat....big.
