I’m glad she is in the House of Lords. I certainly do not share her politics nor do I agree with her on undoubtedly many issues. But she is a serious person who takes her role seriously and recognises the importance of it. Anyone who puts work into tackling modern slavery can’t be all bad. She did her absolute best to square the circle in trying to make Brexit work but was ultimately stuck between a rock and a hard place. While I never particularly liked her, I respected her and still do. All the time we have the political system that currently stands, I really do want serious people to be discussing the serious things. And I want someone articulate to argue a well-reasoned counter point to challenge things. The biggest mistake we can make in life is to be so blind in thinking that we are always right. We have to be open to the possibility that we are wrong sometimes. Having someone properly challenge our way of thinking may help us realise that things aren’t always as simple and clear cut as we initially think or feel. We may well end up coming to the same conclusion but we may potentially change our mind for the better. And I think this is good. But maybe I’m wrong! 😂
The idiot put 110% effort into defying the wishes of the electorate after a once in a lifetime referendum. She'll rot away slowly in that tomb, where nothing of significance actually occurs. Good enough for her.
She didn’t put work into modern slavery though did she ? What she did was make it look as though she was doing something like the rest of them. Same as her sneaking through terrorism laws to suppress people further.
What's even more remarkable is how despite there being absolutely no difference in the contempt the left and right hold for the public, people still desperately cling to their polarised views, steadfastly supporting one or the other.

@@KaiserFranzJosefI incorrect. Prior to David Cameron being given a life peerage when he became Foreign Secretary under Sunak, the last PM to be given a peerage was Thatcher.

Was she? In the grand scale of things, she seems pretty much middle of the road. Considering that the Prime Ministers we've had so far this century are: a war criminal, the man who crashed the economy, a pigfucker, an actual criminal, the woman who crashed the economy, and a couple of wet rags, she's probably fairly high up the rankings by process of elimination.
It was a push in the right direction but things have got considerably worse since. She was an odd choice for prime minister who was put in place to unify the conservatives. Everything in this country for the last fourteen years has been about Tory drama plain and simple

Fair play, if any of the last several ex-PMs deserves a peerage, Theresa May does. She was hamstrung during a premiership, but she has a clear sense of duty which both her predecessor and successors appear to lack.
Oh, dear. As a Scot with a genuine Scottish (Glaswegian) accent, I'm tempted to tell her to stick to her day job, but she's a Tory. Better retire, hen. You've got a fat pension anyway. Abolish the house of lords and the monarchy!
Who brought you the Snoopers Charter ? Allowed National Grid to be sold to Chinese and Qatar government investment arms, introduced additional tax for 5 years for cars over 40k ?
She actually did a pretty good job negotiating a deal with the EU. She didn't have the support of her party because May understood how stupid Brexit was in the first place, and how even dumber it would be to pursue what Jacob Rees-Mogg wanted.

Once again tweez , thanks for the £20 billion a year funding to the NHS you promised as PM.
