Theresa May's best speach was her resignation speach. Why? Because it did exactly what it was intended to which is deliver a difficult message and protect her from fall out. She did this by objectifying herself under the politically correct umbrella of being a female prime minister with the additional halo effect of Margaret Thatcher and by appearing vulnerable by crying. Firstly it would be very hard to attack anything politically correct and iconic. She took her personality and her failure out of the equation in one masterstroke. Then she cried indicating someone who has given their all serving the country and has broken themselves doing so. Nothing about the fact she has been a disaster but an emotional message is far more powerful than the facts. Emotion almost always trump's facts in the human mind. A shame therefore that her speach writers could not have helped her do a better job as Prime minister. We certainly could have.
