I get the distinct impression that, given her stewardship over Brexishambles, her utter failure to deal in any way with Trump (who dislikes her intensely) and outright war between the factions in her cabinet, she would like nothing better than to walk away.
John Major called certain members of his party 'bastards'. I wonder what her term for Gove, Johnson, Davis, Rees Mogg, Leadsom etc is...

Portugal’s economy is growing at its fastest rate for 17 years under a government with policies very similar to those that Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour proposes in the UK.
Back from the brink
Portugal was on the edge of total financial collapse after the global financial crisis of 2007/8. It required a €78bn financial bailout to prop up and help fix its economy.
But since it elected a socialist government in 2015, the country has accomplished an economic recovery described as “a small miracle”. A coalition among left-wing parties in Portugal has underpinned the government.
Unemployment has fallen from 17.5% in 2013 to 7.9% in 2018. Public finances are “in rude health [paywall]“, with the government expecting to “balance the books next year”. And with a “government-supported entrepreneurship ecosystem”, the country is a “top destination” for businesses and startups.

Unemployment - 8% (and rising)
Let's just fact check that, shall we ? Doing that will indicate who we can believe on this forum, and who we definitely cannot.
30th May 2018 - Portugal’s monthly unemployment rate fell to 7.4 percent in April from a revised reading of 7.5 percent the previous month, which was the lowest in 14 years, data from the National Statistics Institute showed on Wednesday.
The jobless rate compares to 9.2 percent in April 2017.
The total number of unemployed fell to 381,400 people in April from 386,000 in March, while the total workforce stood at around 5.15 million.
Houston, I think we have a winner. And if you needed any further proof, ask yourself how the National Minimum wages in both countries actually compare to the real cost of living in both. Also, Inflation in Portugal is well under control at 1% - here it's exactly 3 times that.

And counting a million people forced into zero hours, non-job contracts as employed is another massive fib.
