More or less predictable. Once the election was out of the way and the new Executive was formed it was down to business and BrExit was top of the agenda. I take back what I previously said about Theresa, she has certainly started with an ALL GUNS BLAZING approach! It seems that most commentators agree, she was unwilling to show this side while under the control of Cameron. Could Theresa be the STEEL LADY?
