The thing is, the best way to understand Theresa May’s predicament is to imagine that 52 percent of Britain had voted that the government should build a submarine out of cheese. Now, Theresa May was initially against building a submarine out of cheese, obviously. Because it’s a completely insane thing to do. However, in order to become PM, she had to pretend that she thought building a submarine out of cheese was fine and could totally work.
"Cheese means cheese," she told us all, madly. Then she actually built one. It’s sh*t. Of course it is. For God’s sake, are you stupid? It’s a submarine built out of cheese. So now, having built a sh*t cheese submarine, she has to put up with both Labour and Tory Brexiters insisting that a less sh*t cheese submarine could have been built.
Only she can’t call them out on this. Because she has spent the past two years also lying, by pretending she really could build a decent submarine out of cheese. So that’s where we are.
