Has there not been a Tory clique that refused to accept Brexit and therefore refused to accept its #1 champion, Farage?
May being a good Tory would likely have to repudiate dozens if not hundreds of private statements to fellow ministers and MPs disparaging Brexit and Farage in order to eat crow and accept Farage as a one man Brexit force on his own.
May is heading straight down the road to a new government in UK. When the voters see how May treats Farage, the voters will respond by voting for pro-Brexit candidates and Farage will end up being PM of a pro-Brexit House of Commons.
No doubt Faarage will get ample support from Trump. Popcorn time!
Great minds think alike.
