and they'll take about 6 or 7 weeks to elect a new party leader, who will then automatically take over as PM (well, assuming the winner has the support of the DUP, who are still needed to form a majority in the Commons. If the Tories pick a hardliner, they'll get that support; the only one I can see the DUP objecting to, because he's said 'no deal' is unthinkable, is Rory Stewart - and no-one thinks he can win).

So she does have to do all the flummery with Trump. She deserves that - she's been far too chummy with him.
