"la Girouette de fer" - I shall have to find a place for that in my political commentaries

I have a feeling she is going to surprise a few people.

apparently (the latest proclamation announces) she wasn't a remainer because she dithered or doubted, it was purely out of unstinting loyalty to David Cameron, an admirable quality that has justly helped her reach the pinnacle of her profession.

On Russian tv Vladimir Solovyev called the new PM an “illiterate worthless creature” and a poorly educated megalomaniac who has “persecuted” their patriarch in the name of a branch of Christianity founded on the lust of a king.

Why Steely Dan, and yes I know the band, and the origin of the name.

Maybe a reference to one of their titles - "Countdown To Ecstasy" ?

Do tell.
