You aren't the dancing queen
Old and bitter
Just turned 62
Dancing queen
Feel the heat of Boris's breath on your scrawny neck, oh yeah
You can't dance
You can't jive
Taking the piss of your life
Ooh, see that git
Watch that scene
Bury the damned fool. https://t.co/tR46OhQmMB— barney farmer (@barneyfarmer) October 3, 2018

Politicians will literally do anything their advisers tell them makes them look more human and likeable – "You went viral last time you danced, so why don't you dance like a maniac to a 70s pop song before delivering your speech??"

Alexa, show me how to dance like a dad who's wangled his way onto a stag do. pic.twitter.com/3KXPeXX1Zg

Dancing Queen eh? Not the ABBA song I was expecting to be honest. pic.twitter.com/qAKBQhG51A

People had other issues with her speech, of course.
Theresa May condemns Labour over anti-Semitism. Her party voted to back Orban’s anti-Semitic regime, and today’s Mirror front page features her activists who have scrawled vile anti-Semitism on their skin. She has no moral authority, none.

"Sajid Javid's dad came here as an immigrant, and now all these years later his son is Home Secretary. And now he and I are personally creating policies that wouldn't let his fucking dad in, another Tory success story." pic.twitter.com/4t2OQiXvKg

"We the Conservative Party are the party of opportunity."
Just as long as you don't want to live and work in Europe. Or travel there. Or send your kids there to study. #TheresaMay

She seems a lot more spooked by Corbyn than the prospect of a confidence vote.

But the unusual entrance got a thumbs up from an unexpected quarter.
As Swedish Ambassador I can only say Bravo to @theresa_may for starting her conference speech with ABBA’s Dancing Queen. #CPC18

They’ll be so happy when they realise the speech was meatballs.
