Local journalists valiantly liveblog Theresa May’s Cornwall visit, despite being banned

Theresa May visited Cornwall today as part of her general election campaign – sadly ‘media control’ meant local journalists were barred from attending (despite being invited), but they still managed to do an excellent job of liveblogging the event, which seems very reminiscent of an episode of The Thick Of It.

Here are some highlights…

Here’s some video of May leaving that they were able to shoot from the car park.

Looks like they missed out on an exciting time.

The PM later cheered herself up with some chips.

Fuck me. I'd rather watch Milliband eat bacon than May eat chips any day. Look at the miserable clock on the bastard. pic.twitter.com/mjjfrqFZUA
