Too bad Corbyn was up against Britain's Got Talent.

Not a mistake on May's part. She's been terrified of having to appear in front of anyone that might not kiss her ring.

Still, if Twitter is anything to go by more people were interacting about that than Britain's Got Talent.

Is he doing the thing where we are not supposed to notice the extra "the"? "The May", like she's not even a person.

He's claiming credit for her election victory. Which is kind of true, to be fair.

Also remember that Davies has already excluded hiring non UK citizens for the negotiating teams.

Not that he'll keep his job after she's reelected.

Can you not see how devastating that is to key tory supporters, namely the loving posho banker twats in the south east?

Yeah Theresa May isn't good enough. She's just not natural enough in public, and everything I hear from Westminster journalists on radio/podcasts says she's not anything special behind the scenes either.

They make up a tiny proportion of the electorate. Plus they know she doesn't actually mean it.

Plus it leads to Theresa May having to counter with "Too many many man", which would lead to the inevitable breakup of the entire Tory party in shame.

There were a couple of hecklers and at the end a guy embarrassed himself by being the only person to stand up when clapping.

It's true, though may did get a general applause at the end, only one dickhead gave her a standing ovation.

The Spectator is very much allied to the posh boy faction of the Conservative leadership and has serious reservations about Theresa May. I suspect they're thinking very seriously about calling for her to be toppled if the election result is a damp squib for the Tories.

Our politics could be saved by explaining to people that they can just not vote. I'm guessing this guy has a problem with Corbyn. So just don't vote. Instead it's "I don't like either so i'm voting May". Does the public think if they don't vote then no one is running the country and we'll crash into Europe?

People who vote Conservative can't imagine doing otherwise. It's the routine they've followed for decades upon decades and even if they hate everything that's happening right now they believe a Conservative government is the best option in any situation.

The UK is hosed.
