DOMINIC SANDBROOK: The great showdown, it seems, is almost upon us. After all the exaggerated claims, the bragging and boasting, Theresa May's critics have reportedly reached the magic figure of 48 letters to trigger a no-confidence vote in her. In a remarkable echo of history, they apparently reached the threshold while she was away negotiating with EU leaders in Brussels, thus recalling the no-confidence vote that sank Margaret Thatcher while she was in Paris signing the deal to mark the end of the Cold War in November 1990. If I were in the mood, I might have some fun with the fact that, just as in 1990, the pinstriped Tory plotters are so gutless, so cowardly, that they wait until their mistress is abroad before plunging in the daggers. But the situation seems to me too grim even for mordant humour. In any case, the coup, it seems, is on. But what do the conspirators possibly think they can achieve? Do they seriously think they can topple Mrs May, promote a new leader after a bloody leadership contest, strike a new deal with the EU's leaders (who have made it clear they are not going to renegotiate) and steer the country safely to shore — and all this by the end of March? If they do, they are even greater fantasists than I thought.
