Do you find answering questions difficult?

If so, you should probably avoid becoming a politician. You should especially avoid becoming prime minister.

Theresa May doesn’t have that option, but she does have a strategy. Namely: to answer every single question with the same answer.

The woman with all the answer

In the 2017 general election, May answered every question with:

As part of her Brexit prep, May originally threatened:

No deal is better than a bad deal.

After she proposed a deal – a deal which is demonstrably quite bad – she changed that to:

She’s since spiced that up to:

Which may work on some people. Because if this right now – if this isn’t chaos, then how bad will no-deal Britain be?

Account

Of course, May can’t get away with not answering questions forever. Oh no, wait, they’ve booked the debate on the BBC.

So yeah – looks like she will get away with not answering anything.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support

The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.

The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.

So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
