She's had a terrible week (and that's saying something given her premiership to date).

She had to sack the chancellor that enacted all of her campaign promises, bring in a new chancellor who has undone all of her campaign promises.

Some of the polls coming out suggest the Conservatives would be in 3rd place at a General Election behind the SNP.

Not a speck of blue north of the border and that worm Douglas Ross out of a job. Glorious. Wonder if anything will change in the next 2 years ...
Fourth behind the SNP in some cases.
