Here’s the full transcript from Andrew Neil’s interview with Graham Brady, the chair of the 1922 committee, on the Sunday Politics show:
AN: Graham Brady, you think Mrs May should soldier on, why?
GB: Well, there’s no other party that is in a position to form a government. Clearly these aren’t the circumstances that either the Prime Minister or I or any of my colleagues would have wanted to be dealing with at the moment but they are the circumstances the electorate has presented us with and I think it’s our duty to make the best of that. It’s our duty to try to offer a government as resilient as it can be in quite difficult times.
AN: But, is she ever going to be more than a caretaker leader now?
GB: Well, I think one of the odd things about the experience of the last 12 months is that Theresa May, I think, has performed very well as prime minister and the public rather liked her as prime minister.
