I think she'll be the best commons performer but I am not sure if she'll be the best in terms of elections.
She is very good at speaking to the Tory base and picking fights with the left, but that alienates many voters. Her comments on maternity pay may have 'triggered' the left but also moderate voters.
She risks being the Tories' version of Corbyn. Very popular with the base, ideologically different to the opposition but not speaking to the wider country.
But who knows? How you pander to members can change once you've won their votes.
