I’m afraid there is mounting evidence that the Home Secretary is taking leave of her senses. Yesterday, the former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor accused Mrs May of standing idly by while Operation Midland trashed the human rights of men unfairly accused by Scotland Yard’s “bizarre” inquiry into VIP child sex abuse. Mr Proctor, who was exonerated after a year’s investigation, was right to point out that what started as a police inquiry became a witch-hunt and a scandal on Mrs May’s watch.

Then there are Mrs May’s increasingly barmy warnings on the EU. Only last week, she claimed that leaving the EU would put the UK’s security at risk. Catching criminals and extraditing suspects would be under threat if Britain votes Leave on June 23rd, she insisted. Faster than you can say Abdelhamid Abaaoud, jihadists mounted a lethal attack on Brussels, proving that Belgian security is so catastrophically inept it presents a clear danger to all of its European partners.
