Goodlord she didn't age well .
In it for herself and not the people
She’s cringe
Well, she aged like lettuce, and now she’s not even an MP! How time flies! 😂
This lady turns more than a turnstile at King’s Cross
Definitely a raging narcissist driven only by ambition.
When a Youtube short is longer than your entire premiership
Mad as a box of frogs.
I imagine there's plenty more she'd rather we forget after this video was made. What a story arc! PM to unemployed in 20 months.
