After putting EU leaders in their place over the weekend the prime minister revealed her Brexit masterplan: we are going to make it up as we go along
What a difference a few days can make. On Friday, Theresa May had looked rattled at the indifference with which she had been treated. A “pff” here and a “bof” there had been the only tangible evidence of anyone having taken any notice of her presence in Brussels at the European council summit. But now she’d had time to reflect on her performance it had been nothing less than a total triumph.
Far from being a graveyard slot, the five minutes she had been given – “if you must, Theresa” – long after dinner had finished and everyone had gone to bed was absolute primetime. Didn’t everyone always leave the most important item on the agenda till after “Any Other Business”? And those noises her insecurity had allowed her to think of as snores were, now she came to think of it, purrs of approval.
