It's a win for GM but it's absolutely not a win for May or the Government - nor should it be claimed as such. She was backed into a corner with some careless and politicised comments from Cameron and Clegg before they were in power. She was effectively fucked either way - either at home or abroad. It's a populist decision that buys a moment of favour at home. The GM case is very specific. What about, as NH points out, that of O'Dwyer or Babar Ahmad or Talha Ahsan?
This is an interesting bit of commentary, written a year ago:
