Did he successfully abuse his power? I’d argue he didn’t, that the checks and balances worked, i.e. the Supreme Court ruling his attempts to prorogue Parliament illegal.

But I’d strongly agree that what Peter Hennessy termed “the good chap” theory of government was challenged and very nearly broke. There is definitely a need for stronger constitutional arrangements to ensure this is guarded against in future.

"Ready for Rishi" sounds like it took all of 12 seconds to come up with, but carried a sizeable fee from a creative agency

I'm here for the 'Leadsom for Leader'-style marching chant.

'As a mother - still' is probably equally as toxic.
