THERESA May has shown her propensity to make poor decisions yet again in calling an election to increase her majority.

An inability to read how a situation is going and an ability to listen to bad advisors has got her into the situation she is in now.

We do not need someone with these specific faults negotiating for the UK with the rest of the EU “in just eleven days after I’m elected” as she, and any other Tory in front of a microphone, arrogantly kept pretending to “mistakenly” say, slavishly following Lynton Crosby’s “expert” election-success advice.

Locally Neil Carmichael must understandably be cross that he has been unseated by her foolish choices.
