Very well put Fiona.

I agree about her dedication to duty (although I do wonder if having to ask Liz Truss to form a government might have been what did for her), and that historically this is a significant time.

But I’m afraid her presence did not comfort me in the face of the climate crisis, the war in Ukraine, or the economic catastrophe happening to the country, to name just three. That’s not a reflection on her – nobody in her position could have provided that comfort.

I didn’t know her, so I don’t feel any sadness at her passing, and frankly I don't see how any rational, emotionally sound person can genuinely mourn the death of someone who on a personal level was a total stranger.
