THE INVISIBLE PREMIER
TIMID Theresa correctly frets when she interests Donald Trump much less than chubby hereditary communist Kim Jong-un.
May was the humiliated invisible woman at the G7 summit in Quebec where the US President forgot Mrs Wallflower as he rated 10 out of 10 the heads of Germany, France and Canada. North Korea’s “Little Rocket Man” by contrast will enjoy the red carpet treatment in Singapore over the next few days as the radioactive braggarts compare nukes.
May’s brutal marginalisation matters when her inconsequence deprives Britain of a voice in the world. In a telling photograph we saw Europe’s Angela Merkel leaning on a desk addressing the seated US President while others huddle around. Part of May’s head glimpsed at the back emphasises she follows, others lead.
Trump dislikes May’s “school-mistressy tone” yet a commanding figure is what our country needs. Instead we’re lumbered with a harassed work experience nonentity.
