May truly is a disgrace.
It was bad enough that she started an election with nonsense paranoia about parliamentarians trying to sabotage Brexit.
It was bad enough that she wasted two crucial months of Article 50 by holding a general election entirely for self-interested reasons.
Now she comes out with this lunatic crap about mysterious figures in Brussels "who do not want these talks to succeed"?
She is making up delusional, hateful rubbish about events being "deliberately timed to affect the result of the general election".
This isn't just inadequate. She's now herself actively sabotaging the chances of a deal, the precise thing she accused opponents of.
This will be heard loud and clear across the Channel. She is hardening backs, poisoning the atmosphere, turning waverers against us.
There's no way you can twist this to pretend it will improve our chances in talks. She is now directly acting against the national interest.
I am honestly not sure I have ever seen a more irresponsible comment by a British prime minister. I am genuinely fucking horrified.
And there's a whole general election campaign to go. What will she be saying by early June I wonder?
Unspeakable. OK. Rant over.
