There she goes, with a complete lack of irony and self-awarness that is nearly unprecedented... even Labour knew that she'd probably call a snap election and were better prepared than her own party, that's reassuring!

Theresa May has admitted the Conservatives were not fully prepared for June’s snap general election – despite the fact it was her decision to call it.

The Prime Minister said one reason for the Conservatives performing much worse than expected in the poll was that she had “not been able to prepare people for it”. This resulted in an overly-centralised campaign that took power away from local activists, she said.
The revelation that the party was under-prepared for the election came in an interview with House magazine, conducted by former Tory leader Michael Howard on the eve of the Conservative party conference in Manchester.

Ms May said: “There weren’t the links with the centre that there should have been. That’s one of the issues we need to look at.”

Asked if the snap election was a significant factor behind the result, she replied:” I think it was, because by definition in a snap election you’ve not been able to prepare people for it. So out there people have to work quite quickly to put their local campaigns together, and you do get slightly more of a central approach.


I wouldn't trust her to make a sandwich.

I imagine she must have had a massive rush of blood to the head when she decided to call the election. I bet her husband actually encouraged it too.

I'm not sure whether to admire her sheer brass neck for trying to brazen it out or just be stunned by her lack of awareness.

In the 1980s we had the Iron Lady, now we have the Irony Lady it seems.
