Theresa May: The lies, the mockery… the leadership bids?
Tick tock, Theresa May… Her public appearances are becoming so bad she can hardly speak – perhaps because of the Tory knives that are already digging into her back?
Theresa May is the gift that keeps on giving to political commentators.
Her performance at Prime Minister’s Questions yesterday was so dire that it has encouraged many to believe she will be gone in a matter of weeks, if not days.
Here’s Peter Stefanovic to explain some of the lies she spouted:
At one point, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was moved to ask what planet Mrs May was living on, to be coming out with such tripe. Her belated answer caused much hilarity – not to mention a barbed comment on her own warmongering:
"Leader of the opposition asked me what planet I was on earlier, we all know what planet he and shadow chancellor are on: Planet Venezuela" pic.twitter.com/0x3vDIJImK

Hi @theresa_may I'm shocked you didn't realise Venezuela is a country, not a planet, what with you supplying them with military equipment.

Mr Corbyn’s summation should go into the history books as one of the most comprehensive put-downs of any UK government ever:
“If the Prime Minister can’t lead, she should leave.” – @jeremycorbyn #PMQs Agree? Hit RT ↓ pic.twitter.com/FvifN7PTRH

The result? Dissent among Conservative Party ranks that tends to confirm the belief that she’ll be out on her ear in very short order:

This particular clown has had her day, now it’s the turn of those on the benches behind. What a laughing stock of a parliament, it makes you want to put some distance between it. The joke is over though, it’s become distasteful & it’s time to rescue what shattered remnants remain from this carnage.
