Has aged about 20 years in the past three? Just watching the news and they are looking back over her premiership. Jeez.

I actually feel sorry for her. A little.

Did you not see Obama by the end? Or Clegg? Even Cameron actually (he deserved every grey hair he got though). Those kind of high level jobs take their toll. It’s a total killer.

babysharkah · 24/05/2019 10:58

All of them do. Not surprising really.

RubberTreePlant · 24/05/2019 10:59

That seemed like quite angry crying at the end there.

usernamerisnotavailable · 24/05/2019 10:59

Think hers was more dramatic as it's only 3 years. Plus she's had a full on shit show to try to navigate.

It's got to be one of the most stressful premierships in recent decades.

usernamerisnotavailable · 24/05/2019 11:03

A little bit of me does feel sorry for her.

I think she took the job on with a lot of lies about how easy it was all going to be then discovered it wasn't!

araiwa · 24/05/2019 11:06

Not one drop of sympathy

Her own fault. All of it

Her own uselessness made what was always gonna be a shit job somehow worse. That takes ineptitude of a high order

PicsInRed · 24/05/2019 11:06

She was constantly ill and that wasn't a coincidence. Likely due to lack of sleep and extreme stress.

19lottie82 · 24/05/2019 11:07

Her own fault. All of it.

Oh please! What a load of bull shit.

Pinkvoid · 24/05/2019 11:07

Yep, I feel sorry for her and I wouldn’t vote Tory if someone held a gun to my head (well, might do...)

She looks to have been pushed to her absolute limits. Nobody should be placed under that level of stress.

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2019 11:08

I hate all the tweeting now saying how wonderful she was etc.
So much hypocrisy going on as always happens when someone stands down.

RubberTreePlant · 24/05/2019 11:11

I agree completely @pinkvoid

Much though i wouldn't vote Tory, it's obvious she had a poisoned chalice from the start.

SerenDippitty · 24/05/2019 11:12

I feel sorry for her too. And I struggle to see how anyone else is going to do any better, either as a party leader or with regard to Brexit.

GinisLife · 24/05/2019 11:12

I feel very sorry for her. It was a poisoned chalice. Cameron dropped her (and anyone else who might have got the job) right in the doodoo. She's not helped herself by trying to be all things to all people and keep the remainers sweet as well as trying to negotiate a good deal for going out. It was difficult for her when she was a remainer herself but she should have put that aside. Her health issues can't have helped either.

UnicornBrexit · 24/05/2019 11:14

Shit pay, less than a head master gets, and this constant grief and aggrivation, plus her ill heath to manage too. . I would doubt shes had a decent nights sleep in the past 3 years.

NCforthis2019 · 24/05/2019 11:14

I feel incredibly sorry for her - she was bullied out of the job - hope all her bullies are happy now - disgraceful. I am and always will be a Tory supporter but I detest Cameron for dropping her into this shit show.

Crimson72 · 24/05/2019 11:15

I just watched her speech - I felt so sorry for her at the end when she started crying.

UnicornBrexit · 24/05/2019 11:15

Cameron dropped her (and anyone else who might have got the job) right in the doodoo.

Blame where blame is due - Boris caused this shit storm and he didnt step up to the plate

Kko1986 · 24/05/2019 11:17

I really hurt for her, the way she broke during the speech today. I'm a leave voter nope not open for debate. I just wanted to say I do feel sorry for her.

Happyspud · 24/05/2019 11:18

I don’t think ANYONE could have done more than a marginally better job than her. It was a completely poisoned chalice.

NoBaggyPants · 24/05/2019 11:19

Don't feel sorry for someone that has inflicted pain on millions of people. Austerity, the Windrush generation, all on her watch.

She has zero empathy and she deserves none in return.

Disappearedtothe80s · 24/05/2019 11:20

Doesn't she have type 1 diabetes? Cant be easy managing that and arguably having to deal with the shit storm that is Brexit

RevokeRemainReform · 24/05/2019 11:21

I actually feel sorry for her. A little

I don't and I'm normally a pushover but she has been an astonishingly incompetent and divisive PM who lacks wisdom and compassionate.

And I'm so sick of hearing this "she was handed a poison chalice" nonsense. She's a ferociously ambition politician who grasped the opportunity to become PM and her pig headedness and vindictiveness made a difficult situation impossible.

usernamerisnotavailable · 24/05/2019 11:34

Revoke but which Tory would you have rather had in her place?
