So far falling short of cancelling his sort-of state visit - a source of national dread second only to Brexit - May has issued a statement saying "it is wrong for the President to have done this".

The moment when May finally cracks, Ned Flanders-style, and tells Trump, Boris, her own party and the millions of voters who doomed her to presiding over the worst mess in British political history exactly what she thinks of them is surely edging ever nearer.

The irony is if she did that, she'd probably become the most popular politician in Britain.

Do it Theresa. Just do it.
