The bookies have it at 5/1 on a Tory leadership this year but I'm not so sure as a contest would take 3 months and the finish would clash with us having negotiated a leaving deal with the EU. One thing the PM is good at is saving her own neck and she would have taken it into consideration last Friday.

How about giving the PM a red card and award the job on penalties; or maybe just give the job to Gareth Southgate and his team.
Mind you with her catastrophic record she could have also be planning to foul up the England teams chances of winning the World cup.

"ALL TOGETHER NOW Theresa May compares herself to Gareth Southgate in a plea to unite her Cabinet over Brexit plans
PM told her warring top team at Chequers it was time to 'come together' if they were to win like the Three Lions"
Delusional woman who obviously believes her own publicity.

Seeing as this thread is about the “ Next leader of the Conservative party “ I would suggest that the question is virtually immaterial. Given that May is more or less the female equivalent of Major ( God help us! ) anybody else would find it difficult to do a worse job.
I would suggest that the No. 10 cat could take over, but not sure if it’s still alive? Even so, a dead cat would still be preferable to the lump of dead wood that we currently have as a PM.

We all remember the PM campaigning at the last General Election on the ticket of "I am not Corbyn", tonight she addresses the 1922 committee with the line "If you don't back me you get Corbyn", clearly some lessons are never heeded.

Liam Fox is the favourite to resign next at 2/1 on.

Things can change very quickly, soon after resigning Boris Johnson was installed at 2/1 to be the next leader. By the end of the day JRM was 4/1, Sajid Javid 11/2, Gove and Johnson at 6/1. The general consensus is that the PM is safe for now.

Not many days until Parliament packs up for the summer and the PM will celebrate her survival with a litre of Pimms. We can be sure that plots will steadily unfold with MPs wanting to be on the side of the winner in order to further their careers and the more I think about it the more I see Sajid Javid entering the winner's enclosure.

So following up on Howard's post - it appears now that MPs are being asked by the Government to vote to bring forward the rising of Parliament. So, there we have it, so terrified are they - they accepted everything from the ERG yesterday, along with this move. It's literally all about survival from one day to the next. With this level of panic, I assume they know that Boris has something ready to go....

The PM is really in trouble here so I have given some thought to how she can recover. What I suggest is she goes on a walking holiday with her husband and upon return calls a snap General Election in order to boost her majority and give us strong and stable Government. What could possibly go wrong?

A snippet from the Times.
Another Brexit source went further, claiming that an autumn leadership election was “nailed on” now, with the Withdrawal Treaty “as dead as Chequers”, adding “the Europeans have written her off”. They predicted: “She’ll be out by October.”
Andrew Bridgen, the Tory MP for North West Leicestershire who supports a hard Brexit and has called for Mrs May to go, held a meeting of his local party on Thursday night at which a motion of no confidence in the prime minister was endorsed.
Remain supporters are also reinforcing their ranks, planning meetings and conference calls over the summer. There are also signs of support for a new faction that cuts across both camps. The Brexit Delivery Group includes Andrew Percy, a Brexiteer, and Simon Hart, a Remainer, and is dedicated to avoiding a civil war on Brexit. It now claims to have more than 40 followers and will push against any coup led by Brexiteers. Dominic Raab, the Brexit secretary, is also expected to restart the political season in the middle of next month when he meets Mr Barnier.
