Nobody can be surprised by this after that election result. She had some cheek thinking she was still in a position to lead the Conservative party in these negotiations and in general after that, but then again the alternative was almost certainly going to be more absolute chaos.
The best parallel universe for us is probably the one where there was never any snap election.
What an absolute shambles but this is a product of two decades (arguably more) of ineptitude from 10 Downing Street. The amount of poor leadership we've seen from both Labour and Conservative has been incredible - Blair, Brown, Miliband, May. The coalition with Nick Clegg made the Lib Dems into a laughing stock, and the most successful politician of the last 10 years at least is Nigel Farage.
I didn't like David Cameron at the time but when you look back over the prime ministers I'm old enough to remember, and the opposition leaders they've each faced, he is looking head and shoulders above the rest right now. And this is the man who promised the country a referendum to get re elected then should have done a stronger job on the Remain campaign at the time.
Glad I've escaped England at least .
