 he Roman poet Horace said a play
 should not be shorter or longer than
 five acts. The German scholar Gustav
 Freytag defined those acts for the modern
 age. As Theresa May is poised to mark her
 first year as Prime Minister, most would
 agree that it has been quite a remarkable 12
 months - in five acts she has manged to
 produce a true drama.
 Act I: The Exposition
 The protagonist is introduced
 It is now hard to remember, yet vital to
 recall, that Theresa May took the Tory
 crown not by triumph but by default. Every
 other claimant removed himself or herself
 from contention: David Cameron quit after
 failing over Europe. Boris Johnson quit after
 failing to convince Michael Gove he was
 serious about Brexit. Andrea Leadsom quit
 after failing to realise that common decency
 demands you don’t try to score political
 points over the fact that someone doesn’t
 have children .
 So Mrs May, found herself playing

IS CHINA TRYING TO SILENCE THE WORKERS WHO MAKE IVANKA TRUMP'S APPAREL?

Ivanka Trump has apparently dazzled the women of the People’s Republic with her first-daughter charm offensive: Chinese women admire her as the quintessential American power mom, even as Trump Senior trades twitter barbs with President “Daddy Xi” in Beijing. But while Ivanka markets her new guide to success for “Women Who Work,” the women working for her in China, producing slippers for her elite apparel brand, face a work-life balance that smacks more of Oliver Twist than Lean In.   Earlier this year, the US-based China Labor Watch (CLW) rubbed some of the gloss off the heavily marketed, obsessively scrutinized Ivanka brand when a team of undercover investigators infiltrated the facilities of a supplier to Ivanka’s shoe brand, Huajian, in Guangdong and Jiangxi Provinces. They uncovered shocking brutality, including evidence of wage theft and forced labor, with nonstop production shifts that lasted well over the legal standard. Some employees were reportedly “tricked into the factor
