Eddie the Eagle, Tim Henman, Susan Boyle…we Brits love an underdog, don’t we? We even voted the useless John Major in for a second term when we saw what a hard time he was getting from both Brexiteers and Neil Kinnock (Jeremy Corbyn’s younger, elder brother, kids). So it should be no surprise that the more the ghastly Rees-Mogg & Co. turn the screws, the more popular embattled Theresa becomes. Has there ever been a Christmas election? First time for everything, Mrs. May.
“Reeves backs down on plans to cut ISA limit”

Bowed also to common sense, I’d say.
