Only 45 days in the post; shortest in UK history. She tanked the economy quicker than anyone before. It's quite impressive how you can mess up this bad. Borrowing money to pay for tax cuts for the rich... Unbelievable.

The sad part is that there's a can of worms just like her in the Conservative Party. She's merely the one that got sacked for it, but the next Tory PM will most likely have the same agenda, although he / she will most likely tread more carefully. After leaving the EU the UK economy has become extremely unstable, with strikes occurring almost on a weekly basis, just like we had in the 60's and 70's before the UK became a EU member state. Mind you that the UK isn't self-sufficient in terms of food (hasn't been for more than 120 years) and economic dire straits could actually lead to food shortages and famine!

    A significant number of Brits will have to chose between heating their living space and food. Kids will go hungry. People who used to support food banks now need to rely on them. Food banks, which have to cut down on services because they can't afford them any more. While it's a stretch to argue that the UK as a whole will run into famine it's hard to argue that 14 years of austerity and the mess the Tories made in their time in government will not lead millions of people into literal poverty. e: logical error fixed
