In London, the pressure on Theresa May is growing: A group of ministers is preparing a coup against the prime minister, British newspapers report. A new head of government should negotiate the Brexit. In their weekend editions and on the Web, many Leaves disassemble May's exit strategy and speculate on possible successors. An overview.
"Guardian"
A "way out of the nightmare" must now find the British Parliament, calls the left-liberal "Guardian". The Brexit strategy of Prime Minister Theresa May was "smashed", only the lower house could still save the country. In London, it is speculated that, instead of a third vote on the agreement, May could launch a series of votes in the lower house to find out if there is a majority in parliament for other scenarios, such as Britain's remaining in the EU Customs Union.
"Daily Mail"
Just before warns the "Daily Mail". "The biggest scam on the British people of all time" is it, if the parliament now dilutes the Brexit or even prevents. "The Brexit was intended as a national spiritual purification," the paper says. Now the deputies could betray the people. One last service Prime Minister May the people on Monday still prove - to announce the day of their resignation.

Mass demonstration in London: you want to stay!"Sunday Times"
"We can blame many people for the mess we find ourselves in, but Theresa May is certainly at the top of the list," the business-friendly "Sunday Times" tells May. The newspaper had reported at length on a possible coup against the prime minister. The newspaper criticizes May show little willingness to yield.

"Sun"
"If Theresa May goes to church today, she has to pray for a lot," writes the EU-critical "Sun" with a view to a possible third vote on May's Brexit agreement with the EU next week and the coup. "May had to watch her own authority erode." She was a "lame duck". Nevertheless, the often rambler newspaper in its Sunday comment comparatively graciously deals with May. A change of office would not do much, her deal would be the best way to leave the EU.
"Scotsman"
The "Scotsman" wonders that May is still in office - and already has a dream candidate for her successor. "Britain needs a leader like Jacinda Ardern," the paper writes. "The New Zealand Prime Minister rules in wonderful harmony with her people while May loses herself in the Brexit mess." Ardern had recently gained worldwide sympathy for her handling of the terrorist attack in Christchurch. Among other things, she wore a veil at the funeral in honor of the Muslim victims and brought a strict weapons law on the way. "She acted decisively." May, on the other hand, acts like a ghost in her attempt to box her deal through parliament.
"Independent"
For the Independent the head of government is no longer in office. "Theresa May's time as Prime Minister is over," says the EU-friendly newspaper. The possible successors do not convince the sheet. No one is really pushing, the voters are not popular with the candidates either. "The Tories are so busy with the Brexit crisis that they are not looking for a potential election winner, but for someone who can deliver the Brexit." Should there be a new election, opposition Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn has a good chance of winning.
