There is no such thing in the United Kingdom of Gt Britain and Northern Ireland, as a written Constitution. Everything is done on custom and practice and is reliant on precedent.Thus so is the post or position of Prime Minster. A position which does not accurately exist but which over recent times of party politics has become associated with the leader of the party winning an overall majority of the seats at a general election. Thus, historically, the title of Prime Minster has always been applied or given to "the  person able to command a majority in the House of Commons".
Theresa May has none of these requirements. Her party does not have an overall majority of seats  arising from the last general election, nor, particularly over the past few weeks, is she able to command a majority in the House of  Commons, with many of her own conservative MP's voting against her.

Sir Oliver Letwin
Against this background, she has now lost control of her cabinet, her government and now of the Commons as MP's vote to pass an amendment from Oliver Letwin taking control away from government and handing the task to MP's for a series of "indicative votes " to find a consensus.
Teresa May's position has now become completely untenable. Only her own arrogance and ego maintain her in office without power or effect. The country demands that she should go and allow others to complete the Brexit process.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
