when she won the leadership election the guardian gave her a glowing review about how she was going to take the tories back to true conservatism from before thatcher turned them into neolibs and would do stuff like protectionism for the steel industry that cameron abandoned lol

I wonder how much the media flattery blew up her own narcissistic image of self, or if it was always there. She was supposed to be the new iron lady, and now she's arguably the worst prime minister in history.

She was always known to be bitter, hostile, obstinate and intellectually unable to understand the concept of an alternative opinion, but you have to remember the papers have always been desperate to find the Honest Tory that the British system makes no sense without

It's literally impossible to scramble anything through. Even if they got May's deal passed today there's still a mountain of legislative work to make Britain Brexit-ready, and it's not gonna be done lmao
