Pm Making A Statement From The Steps Of Number 10 At 11.15, What Could It Be?

[AB Editor]

Reports suggest that Downing Street will not reveal the subject of the speech: "You will hear it from her first".

What do you think it could be?

[hc4361]

We are not leaving the EU

[jim360]

general election (via vote of no confidence)?

[Baldric]

Resignation?

[AB Editor]

Someone suggest that it can't be the death of the Queen, as that would be announced by the palace? Is that right.

Likely an election?

[Jomlett]

Lord Lucan has been found safe and well.

[ToraToraTora]

don't get too excited, it wont be an election, the limp dums have seen to that. She'd need support from Labour and they know they'd get hammered.

[Jomlett]

The most likely alternative would be the announcement of the resumption of direct rule to end the current morass at Stormont.

[anneasquith]

Resignation........she was a remained!!!!

[-Talbot-]

Election.

[jim360]

Excited about an election? I'm terrified at the prospect ...

[Islay]

I don't know if its Stormont direct rule as its still a holiday in Northern Ireland.
Something to do with Assad?

[Jomlett]

The Fixed-Term Parliaments Act sets the general election date as the first Thursday in May every five years, meaning 2020 is the next expected contest.
But Mrs May could call an early election if two-thirds of MPs in the Commons vote for it and Jeremy Corbyn has previously indicated Labour would support such a move.

[jim360]

Or repeal the Fixed-Term Parliament Act, which requires a simple majority. Crazy, Crazy system.

[-Talbot-]

Anything to do with Assad would be out already.

[steg]

I think she's got the part as one of the dragons in the new series of game of thrones

[EcclesCake]

My best guess is a SGE.

[emmie]

why would it be an election as some suggest, surely she doesn't need that in the beginning process of Brexit amongst many other pressing matters.

[weecalf]

Maybe she is gonna say Chelsea have conceded the title to Tottenham Hotspur

[emmie]

some sort of deal with Donald Trump, other than that will keep watching the news, which going on now, seems to be speculating on a June election, oh dear..

[Jomlett]

No black prime ministerial seal on May's lectern. Usually a signal that PM is making a party political statement...
