I know there’s a lot of self delusion involved but I still can’t quite believe May’s behavior. It’s one thing to to hold on to the job by doing bullshit the tories think they want- it’s quite another to agree to burn the whole place down because not immolating everything would be unpopular.

Theresa May has less behavioural flexibility than an earthworm. If an earthworm is tunnelling happily away and encounters negative stimuli, it'll try to avoid it.

It's not even a joke. She genuinely seems incapable of realising she could just, y'know, take her hand off the stove

Wouldn't get your hopes up. Those sorts of deals are pretty common publicity stunts and are always shitholes with strings attached committing you to investing in renovations.
