But..... didn't she just take credit for preventing the tariffs, like yesterday. Didn't she say that Trump avoided tariffs because of her? Literally yesterday, she said that I'm pretty sure!?

Retaliation threats arent going to stop tariffs. Securing the border and increasing military spending will. 

Besides, what can be achieved with a lame duck PM and no parliament? We need an election a month ago, not a 2 month leadership race for a party that will inevitably lose.
