PM’s ‘not so snappy’ poll

SO MUCH for Theresa May’s ‘snap Election’. The PM’s so-called spur-ofthe-moment poll was so long in the plotting that as far back as January the Queen’s Birthday honours was secretly shunted from its traditional second Saturday in June berth to yesterday instead. ‘No 10 quietly told the Royal flunkies months ago that the usual weekend would be “too busy”,’ said an honours insider. That’s one word for it.
