That's the message May received this week from some of her conservative party members, who are plotting a no-confidence vote against her due to their displeasure with the drafted Brexit deal.
Not so long ago, May seemed to be in control, after she obtained her cabinet's approval of the drafted Brexit deal she had sealed with the EU a day earlier.
After the British government finally published the 538-page Brexit deal Wednesday night, six cabinet members, including Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab, were so disappointed and disgusted by what they saw that they announced their resignations from May's government Thursday morning.
Mark Francois, a member of the conservative Tory party, told May the draft deal "Was dead on arrival." Jeremy Corbyn, the likely next UK prime minister and the socialist leader of the Labor Party, which makes up the largest opposition, deemed the draft deal "a leap in the dark - an ill-defined deal by a never-defined date," and declared the UK government "Must withdraw this half-baked deal."
Second, what May agreed to represents a betrayal to those who voted for Brexit.
The leaders of "Brexit," such as Boris Johnson, failed to rise up to the challenge after they won the Brexit referendum.
They left such a leadership vacuum that May, who has been against Brexit all along, ended up becoming the prime minister with the mandate to deal with the EU. May is clearly the wrong person to deliver the mandate of Brexit and drive a hard bargain with the EU. She is a tough politician, but she is no Margaret Thatcher.
