Hard to believe that we once thought she was the worst PM ever.

You could watch these cock-ups and feel a bit sorry for her; you’d never say that about a Liz Truss compilation

The thing with May, is she genuinely seemed to be a nice respectable person, if a bit dull. She just also had no business being the Prime Minister. But in comparison to the sociopaths, fraudsters and generally amoral ghouls we currently have, her tenure seems like halcyon days in comparison.

She tried her best and had a degree of respect and decorum. A thousand times better than the last three PMs and the psychotic Chancellor

I don't want to get into the whole 'rose-tinted' view of the slightly better than the absolute shambles of the present (May was crap, regardless of how much more so her successors were), but I did find that Theresa May's awkwardness was actually quite humanising, she seemed genuinely just awkward, rather than the 'I'm trying to hide the fact I am a psychopath' flavour of awkwardness.

It's a sad sad day when looking back at Theresa Mays reign looks roses. How far the country has fallen..

Compared to what's there now, even being weird she seems normal!

“Strong and Stable” can now run through fields of wheat 😂

I think I'm one of the few that actually have a soft spot for her looking back despite what she stood for and how poorly she was as a leader. She had mannerisms which I could relate, being an anxious and akward person myself, but she did her best and I can't fault her for that. Also, she was the last of our leaders where accountability in her party mattered at a higher standard than what we got under Johnson, Truss and now Sunak since. So yeah, I don't agree with her and who she stands for in politics and I did not nor would I ever vote the way she may have, but you know what, I think interpersonally she would probably be a nice person to be around. She was human, in a way that the tossers we've had since have been nothing but baffoons or complete walking AI.

“There is no money tree’ goes into coalition with the DUP and up pops a money tree 🤬

I understand her complicated relationship with inanimate objects and awkwardness but I still have little sympathy for her tears. Her record and her party's record is the source of many tears, and not the laughing kind.

Thats quite a legacy ! The "Least Shit" of the last four !😕😕😕

I think I've pulled a muscle from cringing so hard 🫣

We thought she was the worst PM by then but it could only get worse...

Somehow, Theresa Mays Abba dance got more awkward with the music taken away

Theresa may is like poorly cook food, everyone else after her is like rotten food eaten raw.

Strictly here she comes!

The weirdest thing I find about her is how she stands up in parliament and delivers a speech on how some bill is wrong or might not achieve what the government thinks it will but still goes and votes in the Aye Lobby anyway

Incredible how the past three Prime Ministers we've had has made me miss May.

The fact that May retrospectively appears humanised and somewhat tolerable really shows how far her successors have made standards drop

The Breadsnatcher. She took away prescription bread!!

She dances like a malfunctioning robot, never seen anything as funny since. Made my day this has! She was mediocre but the 3 that replaced her were downright dangerous, amazing we still have a country. Can't help but think the Tories were the coalition of chaos the whole time and how close we were to a fair and progressive government in 2017 though, the mess we are in now could've been avoided.

I actually like her awkwardness. 😅 I like that she doesn’t fit the traditional mould. She had morals and values. Make fun of her as much as you want. She was a mile better than her successors.

I was hoping for the dance clip being added absolute classic 😂

I remember thinking May was the bottom of the barrel. Then Johnson was like they'd clawed thru the bottom of the barrel like trapped rats. Truss was tunneling her way to the core of the Earth. I have no metaphors left for Sunak there's nowhere else to go

Remember her strong and stable gangsta chains? There it is! 1:36

The first successful Thatcher Clone.

best tory pm of the 21st century so far, hopefully ever

The Brexit referendum was extremely vague. She was the one who decided to go for the most extreme version, outside the common market. It pleased the xenophobes but made the damage to the economy very much worse than necessary and risked re-igniting the Troubles in NI.

How far have we fallen that we look back at May's premiership has better than the last 3. The problem is that we have lived with the consequences with a Tory party in constant war. Brexit, immigration economic management - they are constantly fighting. Internal debate is healthy but the Tories have tried torpedo each other over these issues.

She was definitely better than Truss!

Cringeworthy indeed. But when did we last have a PM who wasn't.😊

I think you have inadvertently created quite a sweet memoriam for the lady

I will remember Theresa May for the following things, and NONE of them are good: 1) Continuing Tory Austerity, with all the hardships that created 2) The ongoing covert Privatisation of the NHS 3) The 'Hostile Environment' for asylum seekers 4) Protecting those responsible for the Grenfell Tower disaster from investigation and prosecution 5) The Windrush Scandal 6) Putting the Conservative Party ahead of the national interest 7) The famous 'Red Lines' whereby the UK left the EU with almost the hardest Brexit possible, just to appease the Brexit hard-liners in her own party 8) Appointing Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary 9) Being TOTALLY unwilling to compromise on her 'Red Lines' with both Tory and opposition MPs who were desperate to get a softer Brexit. 10) Crying when she had to resign, and saying that she loved this country. But clearly she does NOT love her country, OR the citizens of this country. She ONLY cares about the Tory Party and about enabling the super-rich to get ever richer.

A well-observed meditation on permanently contorted English embarrassment, affectionately rendered by Gerald Scarfe and bought to life by the physical-performance artist, Theresa May...

God, she was useless.

I didn't think I'd find myself saying this now all these years later but considering what followed her I genuinely kind of miss her because at the very least i think she respected the office she held.

This hostile environment ideology theresa may implemented has left a nasty scar on society. This division is her biggest legacy .

0:11 You know...hindsight is a funny thing...

AAAAA 🥶😨👀 SITH LORD! I remember everyone wanted her OUT... Boy we got ourselves Boris... and then Kwarteng and Truss wiped out 30 + Bilions from the economy 🤦‍♂️ it's a steep decline.

I can believe that the naughtiest thing she ever did was, "run through fields of wheat". Oh, and 'run' the Country...

Don't want to rain on your parade, but all that felt like a golden era in British politics in comparison with the muppet show we've had since Johnson.

I miss this lady. She didn't ask for the job. I hated seeing her cry when she announced her resignation. Not perfect by any stretch when under Cameron, but respectable at PM when being undermined daily.

Don't feel any compassion for her. She was Priti Patel in sheep's clothing. Her Home Secretaryship was some very impactful foreshadowing of the rest of the Tory rule.

Well Liz Truss certainly made her look less insanely awkward

The bit about the Queen ain't actually that bad, her timing with her pauses in the story were spot on.

Performance art

Mother may i = no you may not

awkward she might have been, but no where near are corrupt I figure.

I don’t know. Politics aside, she seems like a nice person.

There’s going to be a May election that won’t have a “May” in it. Now that’s what you call ironic. 😜

The perfect reflection of the UK.

I mean she wasn’t amazing and there were a few questionable elements around her time as Home Secretary. But I am actually grateful for her because she really did try to make it so we didn’t have the worst possible brexit. I believe she did do her best and you can’t really ask more than that.

The Home Secretary that masterminded the brutal 'hostile environment' policy.

Thatcher, May, and... the other one. Yeah. 😏

I’m not a fan of her politics necessarily, but we’ve got to get over this ideal of a politician having to be charismatic and suave. She might be awkward, but she’s competent and intelligent, and that’s sometimes what you need in a leader.

Plenty of air time on May, anyone think she'd passed away.

Anyone else think they could have done a better job during that time? I'm surprised we had a PM at a time when only a narcissist would surely have been interested.

The dancing

That dance is the Dumpy Chicken

Terrible Home Secretary, worst as a prime minister, good riddance

Highest second job earner in Parliament. The future is rosy for failed politicians.

She will go down in history as the best PM of the 2010-2024 Tory rule era.

I asked myself how the heck have I missed all this durant her being a prime minister,.? But I guess the answer is that by than ,I had lost interest in British politics.

HER AND 'WHERE'S WALDO' RUN THE LARGEST CANABIS FARM IN UK

Ah, thanks for the reminder of how crop circles form! 🦔😅

Rishi is more awkward... somehow

his so unecessary, she handle the guy who went on the stage very well

Women and children first..

At Oxford she was known for being ingratiatingly ambitious but not very competent.She maintained that throughout her career.You could call her the Rodney of the Tory Party with her 2/2in Geography from crappy Braisnose Collage.Sadly Britain is packed with lots of Teresa Mays there everywhere.

Many of these are simply her standing in a lightly awkward, unattracitve way. This is literally every appearance Johnson ever made but because she is a woman, she is meant to look appealing

She was a terrible campaigner, her 2017 general election campaign was dreadful.

All this time I didn't even notice she's like basically Mrs. Bean

Quite fond of her dance moves

if i ever become a politician i'm only ever going to walk and stand-about ..never, ever, ever dance

She was the last sensible Tory leader

May was a typical Tory BUT she still played by the "rules" (flawed as they are) and tried to maintain some typical Tory principles (trying to protect the economy). What has come since has been a kamikaze approach to the UK that has witnessed looting on an industrial scale in terms of money transferred from the tax payer to the very wealthiest/Tory donors/big companies (often former nationalised cos).

Hostile environment. Windrush.

At least she was naturally useless. Unlike others who are fake competent.

1:02 wtf!? 😂

I prefer these clips to the robotic stuff. going by the first few, anyway.

Director to Laura Kuernsberg every time she interviews a Tory PM: “no tongues Laura!”

cameron, May, bojo, truss, cunty sunak. IMO May was the only recent PM with any hint of decency or regard for others.

She rose without trace and sank like the Titanic.

at least she has some belief and seemed like a good person... now both the tory and labour seem just to push the same crap out

To be Fair i feel so sorry for Her She did her best But Was way over her head and left to Pick-Up everything all the rest had left behind. And To me was probably the Most Committed, Honest Person the UK has ever had. And She was probably the Best Person the U.K has & will ever have In a Long Long Long Time. Considering you look at Who the U.K has Had / could have possibly have had Is very very scary. Idiots who dont have a Clue like: Rishi Sunak Boris Johnson David Cameron Gordon Brown Tony Blair Matt Hancock Nick Clegg Jeremy Corbyn Jeremy Hunt Ed Miliband Nigel Farage Jacob Ress or Disgusting people like: Ed Balls Liz Truss Suella Braverman

I think May is a good person when it comes down to it, but she just wasn't the right material for Prime Minister.

There were many cringe moments with Theresa May. The main thing that got really tedious when she was PM was any time she was asked any question about Brexit (which was several times a day during that period), she said, "I will get Brexit done", a totally meaningless phrase which was a very poor way of avoiding the subject and simply wasted time while delivering no information, or anything else, of value. Once or twice would have been understandable, but she uttered that phrase daily throughout her leadership. She may have more decency as a human being than subsequent PMs, but that is not exactly a ringing endorsement since the others set the bar extremely low. What she has in common with her successors is that she squandered an opportunity at the top job, and in the meantime, the country continued its inexorable decline at the expense of the vast majority of the British people.

I find this oddly relatable

She damaged the police service and that is unforgivable.

Who would've thought that compared to BJ, Lettuce and Fishy she'd be considered good at her job.

Honestly the awkwardness wasn’t the problem

Very awkward

She was responsible for handing control of our Defense and Intelligence services to the EU. Then this dancing robot joined the speaking tour and earned £millions

Hard to believe that she "mucked in"...running through the wheat fields. They literally live in a parallel universe...but her "7 burnings injustices" were spot on...that she did nothing about.

R.I.P., Theresa May... or, happy retirement, or resignation, or anniversary, or whatever's going on with her today...

even "call me Dave" Cameron knew which way to walk and which Pig he wanted that night.

As an awkward person myself, if I had no context, this would make me like her

the cheese story is genuinely heartfelt 💛

Love you politics Joe. This segment is banging. 😂
