Our soon-to-be-ex-PM hasn’t achieved much of anything in the past three years. Nothing much beyond being the weakest leader we’ve had since accidentally electing a snowman in 1878, anyway.

It isn’t over until it’s over, however, and May might have completely changed her image with this BRUTAL DISREGARD FOR ETIQUETTE:

Or maybe she hasn’t, and she just gave Putin the least subservient version of what he wanted?

WASTED

One analyst said of the SLAYING:

What May did here was incredibly clever. You see, Putin wanted her to shake his hand, but he also wanted her to look like she enjoyed it. May denied him that pleasure. That’s why he’s so furious – furious to the point it actually looks like he’s smiling.

Another analyst offered a counter-point, pointing out:

She shook his fucking hand.

Legacy

May’s record in office is allowing authoritarian hate-balloons like Donald Trump to lead her around like a show pony. As such, seeming slightly less willing is an improvement. It isn’t great, but it’s certainly less humiliating.

Maybe if Putin orders another hit on British soil she’ll take him off her Christmas card list?

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support

The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.

The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.

So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
