There’s something going on across the pond. Less than twenty-four hours after Mr S informed readers of the New York Times’s struggle with the London foodie scene, Steerpike has come across another incident of an American journo who seems divorced from reality.
The American Enterprise Institute’s Dalibor Rohac has waded into the debate over where Theresa May, by the time she hangs up her heels and looks back on her legacy, will find herself in the pantheon of great British Prime Ministers. In the UK, that debate has been pretty much limited to three from bottom, two from bottom, or bottom. But across the pond, a more optimistic view is being taken. In fact, Rohac goes as far as to say May stands a chance of going down as one of Britain’s best leaders ever:
‘Theresa May is the world’s most underrated leader.’
Catchy, for sure, and the ensuing article does its best to bear the thesis out.
