Society, parliament and particularly the media have already been far too kind to her. She as Home Secretary set the course of the police force to fail, gutting them out and ensuring that they would no longer have the finances to serve the public. The federation begged her not to destroy the police and even actually warned that the time would come that they would not be able to deal with crimes and the public would suffer. She sneered and said ‘stop crying wolf’ - msm absolutely let her off the hook with this. She oversaw windrush and Amber Rudd took the fall. She brought Pincher into government against the warnings, Boris actually demoted him but his head ultimately rolled for it. She turned the UK into a laughing stock with the the absolute pantomime that was the Brexit she had control of. She is an utter utter disgrace, but has abdicated accountability her entire career.

It was May who painted the UK into a corner which to this day it struggles to cope with. You say she features little in your new book, .. well to my mind she, or her speech writers, are the architects and it it this design which Johnson & Truss followed, and which Sunak is trying to break from, remains a core issue of Brexit.

Johnson was too lazy to make many changes to the deal as it was when he took over.

[@drdreel5559]

On Brexit and May: 1. Labour came out within weeks of the referendum result and said explicitly they would not cooperate on a deal, meaning the only votes the government could rely on would have to come from the Tories (who were split into multiple mad sects that wanted mutually exclusive things). That put her in an almost impossible position where, if she wanted to get anything close to a compromise, she first had to hoodwink her own party into letting her stick around and let fools like David Davis drive their own fantasies into brick walls before the conversation could progress. In essence, she could never actually say what she thought because doing so would have seen her sacked and replaced by a hard-line nutcase like, well, like Boris Johnson. 2. May's withdrawal agreement included an all-UK-EU customs union that could last, potentially, indefinitely, and a commitment not to roll back certain rules such as on various rights and environmental protections (and taxation , competition law and so on). That would have protected the UK from the worst of the economic damage (exporters had been screaming that the UK needed to prioritise a customs union because leaving it would have a more serious impact on supply chains than leaving the single market). It was much, MUCH more favourable to the UK than Boris Johnson's permanent trade deal and had the advantage that, in time, when tempers had cooled and sanity had been restored in Parliament and in the country, it would have allowed the UK to get closer to the EU. In effect, the withdrawal agreement she negotiated gave the UK a safety net and the ability to stay in a holding pattern for however long it required. It also avoided a border in the Irish Sea (insanely, the DUP voted against it!). 3. Without Labour support, single market was never going to be able to get past the Tories in Parliament and in any case looked really problematic as an interpretation of the vote. You could not tell leave voters with a straight face that they were "taking back control" while telling them simultaneously that the UK was keeping the substantial majority of the rules, just losing any say in what they were (!). Once things had calmed down, perhaps you could start having that discussion, but as the first step after the referendum result, it was an utter non-starter. I think people really underestimate what she tried to deliver on Brexit, in almost impossible circumstances. She DID offer the most sensible compromise available. But everyone was too polarised and, frankly, utterly ignorant of what was and was not on offer from the EU: Jeremy Corbyn's own Brexit policy was to pursue a type of customs union that does not actually exist(!!) and, to this day, in both the British media and in Parliament, many journalists and MPs STILL very obviously do not know what a customs union is and yet continue to prattle on about them, saying things that make absolutely no sense as a result. Parliament also seemed possessed of the delusion that they were sovereign over the 27 sovereign member state governments of the EU and so could reject whatever came down the pipe until the EU gave the British whatever they liked. I also do think it fair to say that Bercow's actions in preventing the agreement going back to the house, no matter whether they came about because of his personal politics or through his sheer stupidity, were very, very, very harmful to the UK's prospects. Again, the British Parliament does not get to tell the 27 governments of the EU what to do. MPs needed to understand what they were voting for. They didn't, and that is inexcusable, given that they were being provided with incredibly detailed briefing notes from Commons researchers. But to pull a deal off the table because MPs were so clueless they didn't understand what they were saying no to the first time round, and to stop them being able to consider it again was utter madness. Did Bercow think the member states would say "gosh, terribly sorry, sir, we'll run up another draft"? We, as a country, took what was very obviously the best deal that was politically achievable and looked the gift horse in the mouth. Well, that turned out well, didn't it...?

[@liarbrice4772]

May intended to use "Brexit" as an excuse to row back on worker's rights, environmental protections and consumer standards and the opposition at the time made clear its intent to stop her turning the UK into a Singapore-on-Thames for the rich and the North Korea of the North Atlantic for the poor. Her mooted "Brexit Means Brexit" deal would have been as bad as Johnson's "Oven Ready" one and no amount of prolix pontificating or ahistorical histrionics will change that fact.

[@drdreel5559]

@@liarbrice4772 sorry but the withdrawal agreement she negotiated contains provisions to the *precise opposite effect*. It would help if people and the media had actually read it (you don't get to lecture about people "pontificating" and being "prolix" when you clearly don't know what you're talking about and have reduced complex issues to a factually incorrect paragraph of soundbites). What you say is simply not true. The opposition at the time set conditions and the withdrawal agreement met every single one. They then pretended it didn't so that they didn't have to support it for tribal political reasons. Don't believe me? Read the Irish protocol to the May version. Everything Labour said they wanted (and pretended the withdrawal agreement didn't do) is in there.
