Nick Clegg’s experience of Theresa May in government may explain why Brexit is going so well…

The former Deputy Prime Minister told James O'Brien what it was like to work with Theresa May

Nick Clegg's experience of working with Theresa May might explain the current state of Brexit negotiations. In a frank Unfiltered with James O'Brien interview, the former Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Democrats went deep on politics. "Live by the sword, die by the sword," Clegg uttered as he reflected on his tumultuous episode in frontline politics. The pair covered David Cameron as well as as Europe but it was on coalition that the politician was most insightful. "Our dear current Prime Minister was, I mean it was just agonising to try and get decisions out of her and her team," Clegg said. "I was so amused by these sort of macho folk like Nick Timothy, I barely knew what he looked like during government, who’s now strutting around thinking he’s… "He’s never, as far as I can make out, won or fought an election in his life. Terribly macho. Her and her team were just notorious in Whitehall for just being congenitally incapable of making decisions. "And by the way, she was perfectly punctilious and polite and all the rest of it, not a bad or rude person, but just this curious either lack of confidence or lack of willingness to take decisions." Which might explain the current state of Brexit negotiations.
