THE last time Theresa May visited Berlin to meet Angela Merkel, shortly after she arrived she was locked inside her car for a short time as the German chancellor awkwardly waited.
It came a day after a massive U-turn and was seen as yet another symbolic gaffe in the tenure of the current Prime Minister.

Since then, May has performed so many U-turns that she resembles a tipsy dad-of-three at a fair running around a poll 10 times before trying to take a penalty past a washed-up former goalkeeper.
And now she's back in Berlin, for more Brexit talks with Merkel, and again her arrival symbolises her current situation.

After two years of the German chancellor reiterating that May's deal cannot be renegotiated, the Prime Minister arrived in Berlin to be greeted by ... no-one.
In the end May re-appears with Merkel to perform the customary handshake for the cameras.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
