May is on a sticky wicket and could be run out of No10 KEVIN MAGUIRE

EVERYTHING has changed and Theresa May is the only politician in Westminster who hasn’t noticed.

Her desperate defiance is the weakness of a stubborn, tin-eared leader unable or unwilling to embrace reality.

She knocked over her own stumps by clumsily comparing herself to retired England cricketer Geoffrey Boycott, a Brexiteer with a domestic violence conviction.

Sulking because no knighthood arrived, selfish Mr Grumpy scored runs painfully slowly at the expense of team-mates whose wickets he sacrificed.

Time is not on May’s side when she is running out of

Cabinet team-mates and Tory MPs are hurling bottles from the cheap seats. It isn’t credible for May to pose as the champion of the national interest as she fights on two fronts, personal and political.

Too timid to denounce the lies of fantasy Brextremists who promised to build Britain into an El Dorado outside Europe, a vote of confidence is close to inevitable.

Jacob Rees-Mogg dipping his quill pen into a pot of

cold blood to call on her to go is the revolt of the enemy within. May could yet survive a confidence vote. When no clear Tory replacement exists, her best ploy is to ask: if not me, then who?

But her authority has gone, shot, finished, when there is not a cat in hell’s chance of persuading Parliament to back a near universally condemned Brexit.

It’s hard to predict if a general election, referendum or no-deal catastrophe comes next. May has lost control and kids herself if she really thinks nothing has changed.

The next big change might be who is in No10.
