I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

She got asked the one question that every female politician always gets asked in these puff pieces that always annoys me because it's never asked of male politicians. "Do you do the cooking? Can you cook?"

Also an anecdote about how her shoes inspired someone to get a job in parliament, and how she is a role model for young women wanting to get into politics because they can look at her and see a woman who likes shoes and emphasise with her.

It was poo poo, she's going to get a bump from it.

I'm not sure that interview managed to humanise Theresa May any, unless appearing deeply boring is a valuable human trait.

The Guardian did pick up on one thing though - Phillip let slip that May first mentioned becoming PM when she joined the cabinet.

Presumably that is pretty much the endgame of any senior politician though? Its not exactly some house of cards thing or something.

I didn't watch it, was it Matt Baker, I seem to remember him ambushing Cameron a bit once before, asking how he slept at night. No such shenanigans?

The nearest they came was a question about whether things were becoming more presidential. Otherwise it was completely softball all the way.

What is so wrong about fox hunts anyway?

Is it just some kind of tantrum to spite the rich / traditional people who like to do it?

Those big countryside fox hunts with all the dogs and all the people in their red coats and stuff, it's a staple of what it means to be British.

That country life stuff is probably the last thing Britain has going for it.

Was down the pub the other day in my rural, tory safe seat, leave voting community and struck up conversation with a family friend of some years, in fact I attended his 70th a few years back, free bar, donations to the air ambulance as, well, there's charity and there's charity where you end up with your on call emergency helicopter as you approach old age.

Anyway he didn't have much of a view on fox hunting, badgers was the issue. He reckoned he'd never seen a badger until his fifties and now he saw one a week squashed by the road side. I agreed it was high time we instigated some sort of badger road safety awareness campaign and would speak with the parish council next meeting.

You mean the greatest moment in One Show history?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbcACpriZ9s

I hate they let her off so easy. This is her way around dealing iwth the fact that she needs to get on TV, but doesn't want to actually have to debate or discuss issues, and also she's an awful scary monster. There's no heavy policy discussion, just comfy sofa chat and jokes about who does the washing up.

It's not really a secret that the Tories pushed for the One Show bit to be done before any other tv appearances, with the understanding if the BBC stitched them up they would pull out of the others.

I think it's more the juxtaposition that Corbyn is pressed repeatedly on serious issues and is never allowed any leeway to dodge the question, whereas May takes only pre-approved questions from journalists, doesn't answer them, and this is never reported as a serious issue. She is even allowed to outright lie, for example by making false claims about Ed Miliband's energy price freeze, and it is not reported. Meanwhile an evasive (and admittedly stupid) answer from Corbyn is dramatic enough to top the six o'clock news.

Exactly. One the one had you've got Laura Kuenssberg taking a hatchet to Corbyn where whatever answer he gives is going to be spun into bad news for him, and on the other you've got Alex Jones lobbing softball questions to Theresa May about who does the washing up at home in an attempt to make her seem like an actual non-terrible human.
