β€œFormidably present, poised for action, deep of thought and grave of manner, sensitive to the ironies of life, vast and small. Not the leader we knew at all, in other words. But a lovely portrait.”

It says a lot about the when people praise an awful PM for not being as bad as her successors.

David Henig πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ @davidheniguk
Not going to be joining any as underrated PM takes. Her secretive approach infected government badly in a way it still hasn't recovered from, the initial two advisors were catastrophic, handling of Brexit rarely coherent.

Not as bad as her successors is a low bar.

Back in 2002, warned that some people were referring to the Tories as the , and that much work needed to be done.

She then implemented the Hostile Environment policy, which lead to the rise of the BNP, UKIP, David Cameron wooing them and promising a referendum on EU membership, and Boris Johnson's facile championing of .

In the won a dozen seats in in addition to the just one they had held in 2015. This was enough - just - to enable to stay in office by an arrangement with the .

lost a ruling majority by only sporadically participating in a general election she didn't have to call, but CHOSE to because she thought it would improve her majority.

Then couldn't rally support in a party full of Brexiteers for the Brexit deal her own Brexiteers negotiated, so was forced to quit.

I have since found out that the process of detailed discussion and scrutiny in the House of Commons will be curtailed to an abnormal and unusual extent. There will not be a bill committee but a committee of the whole house - and an unusually short timetable ahead of the third reading.

This puts a lot of pressure on dissident like - but also will mean more trouble later on in the !

Presumably is one of many such influence operations.

Why are governments, democratic governments silent and passive on the issue?

During Brexit we were told that then PM refused to let MI5 even investigate this.
