The only thing she's guilty of is trying to repeat what Boris Johnson did - selling a lie. She didn't wreck a thing - Conservative party members have consistently voted for candidates who believe that Britain is some United-States tier country that can write its own rules, constrained only by the slowness of the countries around it. The only thing she's guilty of is believing in that. What's more, half the country voted for that during Brexit. The British people, left and right, need to start recognising that this is nothing but the result of the things they've repeatedly voted for, or allowed to happen with the indifferent or immature way they've reacted to unreasonable ideas.

Most PMs after leaving office, whether they’ve been a success, a failure or somewhere in between, observe a period of silence. This one can’t keep her mouth shut, even after presiding over the shortest administration in history. No self awareness whatsoever.

[@Czechbound]

I wouldn't be surprised if she has a psychological break and ends up in care in the next weeks. She seemed to be almost smirking as she resigned, as if she doesn't realise the damage that she has done. There is self belief, and then there's a psychologic aberration where you living in a fantasy that none of what has happened is your fault. Even with that aberration, it was probably a tough couple of weeks. But sympathy is limited when she could cynically sack Kwasi even though the top rate reduction was her idea, against his objections. I think it would be good for her Walter Mitty style mental condition to never be let near a ministry again. How long before the oligarch wives and Mayfair financiers turn their back on her. They had done 2 weeks ago ....
