Theresa May returns with a renewed vigour for never answering the f*cking question
It’s easy to grow jaded with a job when you’ve been doing it for too long. Theresa May had grown jaded with Prime Minister’s Questions, but now she’s returned with a renewed vigour for treating us all like arseholes.
ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION
When May first became PM, she avoided answering questions with vim and delight. Jeremy Corbyn would ask her something, and she’d say:
Let me be clear –
and then proceed to not answer the question. By June this year, she was clearly exhausted. When asked something, she’d say:
Let me be clear –
and then proceed to not answer the question. Which was almost identical to before, but she sounded a bit more tired.
She’s back
On Wednesday 5 September, Corbyn asked May a series of questions. The first inquired how many companies had to leave the UK before she got a Brexit plan together, to which May replied:
Read on...
Sorry, what was that? I couldn’t hear the question over the sound of your beard!
He also asked if the NHS would be prepared for no-deal Brexit. May responded:
It’s funny you should mention doctors, because I know someone who needs a beard-ectomy!
Corbyn finally asked what was wrong with May that she was like this, at which the PM shouted:
Beard! Beard! He has a beard!
Twenty first century politics
Some commentators felt that May put in a strong performance. These people are paid to think things like that, for some reason.
Welcome back to the new season of British politics.

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.
