The Lonely Sun of Theresa May

Theresa May became Britain’s second woman Prime Minister last summer, because there was no alternative. The rest of them had done each other in. She was the last woman standing, and the country breathed a collective sigh of relief when she stepped into the breach. She seemed capable, calm, reliable — and strangely familiar. The latter not just because of a faint resemblance to the last female PM, Mrs Thatcher (another Libran with Saturn in Scorpio), but because she appeared to embody a kind of British everywoman: the vicar, the headteacher, the local librarian, memsahib, head girl, a good sort, a brick.

But frankly, this whole past 12-month has proved to be a challenge for those of us with tree-hugging, peace-loving, rose-tinted spectacle wearing tendencies. There’s a lot of ugly out there.
