I am hopeful for the Brexiters.
For the first time, I’m starting to have a little more sympathy for Madame Theresa May. Just viewing what Boris has encountered over the last few weeks, I see how difficult it can be getting all concerned to agree on anything.
It’s worse than herding cats. Far worse.
Each group has a slightly different priority than the others.
If this week has proved anything it is that May was far too weak for the job. If Boris was able to get the concessions he did, May could have done it too if she’d had an ounce of Thatcher in her, but she didn’t. She can go in the historic dustbin of failed Prime Ministers along with Neville Chamberlain, Lord North, Arthur Balfour and Anthony Eden.
