Watch this clip of Theresa May and tell us she’s not doing an Thatcher impression

Theresa May did her first Prime Minister’s Questions today and you can watch a clip of it here:

Really, watch it, the intonation of the final line, “remind you of anybody?” is a full on Thatcher impression.

And what’s more the line has a double meaning – yes it’s asking the opposition to think about Jeremy Corbyn but maybe it’s asking the wider world if Theresa herself reminds us of anyone?

And the answer is YES.

Just look at these four tweets, everyone is saying they same thing:

And if you’re in any doubt that this is a performance, as much of a performance as any actor gives – watch Theresa when she sits down and gives a relieved “phew!”.

So that’s our theory if you will: Theresa May consciously did a Thatcher impression to get the media to compare her to Thatcher.

TELL US WE’RE WRONG!
