A characteristic of our times is the exhortation for people to be themselves without specifying what that could possibly mean –
- Be yourself
- Be who you really are
- Find your true self
Theresa May has obviously taken these mantras seriously - she thinks she's a bit of a wag.
Theresa May pokes fun at successors but praises Rishi Sunak - and issues warning over populism in politics
Giving a speech to reporters at an event in parliament, she spoke about her recent book tour, joking it was interesting to see how rival political titles would be categorised in bookshops.
"Liz Truss's 10 Years To Save The West?" she quipped. "Well, given Liz's reputation and record, maybe it should be 10 days to save Britain.
"That one probably goes under sci-fi and fantasy."
And how about Boris Johnson's upcoming memoir? "That will undoubtedly be shelved under 'current affairs'," she joked.
Poor old Theresa thinks populism isn't dull enough to be quite nice or even safe, but gosh she is a wag.

Asked if any of her successors had "fallen into that trap" of becoming populists already, Mrs May joked: "Now let's see, how many successors have I had?"
More successors than successes, at any rate.
She’s about as funny as …….. (dare not continue)
Wonder how she covers the way she started the rot we have to deal with now...
So what side-splitting biography title could we suggest for Theresa Mary, Lady May? Creature of the Blob Lagoon perhaps?
Sam - yes, it's strange how she seems to assume that doing something to benefit voters must be a sure sign of failed leadership, a violation of "we know best" culture".
James - lots of possibilities though.
Scrobs - she probably doesn't cover it, just assumes her incompetence was something else.
DJ - Creature of the Blob Lagoon sounds right to me, another case for Quatermass.
I admit it; I had hoped that nobody would comment on this post because Theresa May.
dearieme - ha ha, it's an unfortunate name for a politician.
