THERESA MAY must see this weekend as a perfect storm. She is under attack from the Brexit wing of her party, has suffered two major ministerial resignations, has a Nato summit where Donald Trump looks set to insult his so-called allies, then she is hosting his visit to Britain which will be met with mass protests, and then he is off to a Helsinki summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. What could possibly go wrong?
Instead of the triumphant right-wing lovefest that May had in mind when she invited Trump for a state visit back in January 2017, this downgraded trip is likely to be a headache for her — just at a time when, once again, she is shown as unable to enforce her will in her own government or in her own party. This in turn raises existential questions.
Despite the way in which May and her boosters in the media try to pretend that nothing really important has happened, the cabinet is on the rocks, having lost some of its major figures in the past months.
