Theresa May took a hammering in the media for shimmying on stage at the Tory Party conference to the sound of Abba belting out ‘Dancing Queen’. A ridiculous spectacle, groaned all of the media and most of the British population. Presenting herself as a disco diva!

“The only person who enjoyed that was Boris Johnston,” growled somebody on Channel 4.

But maybe Mrs. May was making an entirely different point, a confession, even.
