Liberal Democrats - they negotiated this with the Tories when they were in coalition.

I'm not sure how many U-turns Corbyn has made, probably many. But Theresa May has loads to her name. She's no Thatcher in that respect.
Examples include: foreign worker lists, national insurance rise for self-employed, workers on company boards, a British bill of rights, Hinckley Point, no early election, no energy cap. Strong and stable? Not in a conventional sense. She needs to test her policies more with the Party rather than relying on Timothy and Fiona to tell her what will work.
