    Well it’s mostly empty words so far. Most of the things she said she’s going to do have no basis in Law - as I suspect she suspect she knows - she hasn’t got much in the table in terms of changing that, in the little time she has left.

    She’s not above performative cruelty, but the reality she says lots horrible things and enacts few of them.

      True, I doubt this would actually happen - she’s likely whipping up the right wing Tory members as a prelude to her leadership campaign.

      Still, it’s a government minister saying this dirge, not just a random powerless backbencher.
