Theresa May's Image Has Suffered Over The Past Year

Today, Theresa May is delivering a major Brexit speech in Florence. In a bid to break the deadlock in negotiations, the British prime minister is expected to urge EU leaders to share responsibility in making Brexit happen. She is also expected to ask the EU for up to two years to complete the exit process while including what has been described as a "generous and open" offer of up to €20 billion.

Ahead of the speech, May has seen her popularity erode at home. According to Ipsos MORI, her image ratings have worsened since last September. While less of the public feel she is out of touch with ordinary people, fewer think she has a clear vision for Britain and that she is a capable leader.
