Throughout much of the Brexit process, the international press has presented Britain as a country on the edge of a cliff, with medicines being stockpiled and rationing coming back soon.

‘She could have been the perfect person to carry out a message of compromise .

She has not created the churning whirlpool of ideology and grievance around Brexit and this gave her some authority to bring it to an end.’
Sounds much more to the point than most of the rubbish we are treated to over here, Gerry says…
