THE PM - THE AWFUL VOID OF DOWNING STREET

This is a tweet from Andrew Adonis quoting part of a Times article by Matthew Parris which sums up the sheer emptiness of the prime minister perfectly.


She has become as sentient as a mirror. You look at her and see yourself reflected back. Unlike the one in Snow White, this one doesn't speak. It listens to you but says nothing. Does it have any thoughts? Is it thinking?  If so, what is it thinking?  Nobody knows. She is a mystery wrapped in an enigma as Churchill once said about the Soviet Union behind the iron curtain.

Earlier this week I read where a minister likened her to the Wizard of Oz saying when you pulled back her iron curtain "there wasn't much there".  God help us all.
