Theresa May witty speech about the Queen

[83DanishMum]

Has anyone happened to just see Theresa May's tribute to the Queen in the commons? My goodness she was heartwarming, kind and very funny with real comic timing! I had no idea she was so witty! It never came across during her PMship.

Anyway, anyone feeling sad or a bit empty today - it's worth a watch.

I liked Boris Johnson’s too

Yes! It was lovely a very unexpected! ❤️

Johnson's was really very good. And I can't bear him.

Starmer's also good, and Harriet Harman. Truss so unbelievably wooden.

it made me smile.

I too found her speech warm and moving, a very sincere tribute

Loved the story about the cheese. She has natural comic timing.

I liked Harriet Harmons

I like Theresa, mainly because of how she openly loathes Johnson but also because she took the piss out of herself by coming out dancing at the conference that time

Absolutely lovely. The cheese story was hilarious 😂

I heard it and thought she was charming and wonderful.

Turned Johnson off, he makes me sick.

It was a lovely tribute

I agree. Just the right amount of humour.
Was nice to see them being pleasant to each other for a change as well.

Yes Starmer's was excellent I thought. Very statesmanlike, very very well written and on the mark, and actually had me in tears, which surprised me.

Truss was very wooden and repeated lines from yesterday.

Theresa May has warmed on me today, she came across as a lovely lady.

Yes Theresa May, Boris and Kier’s were good. Boris does have a very good way with words, just not suited to Prime Minister!

Liz Truss didn’t feel genuine, mainly because I couldn’t help remember her speech to the Lib Dem conference and I wonder how she really felt.

I agree - I turned on just in time for her speech, and it made me smile - especially the anecdote about the cheese. I thought it was well judged and witty, and I’m sure the Queen would have loved it.

I was watching on the BBC, and there was a glitch in the broadcast - or in the matrix - unless I was the only one who saw it…

I always thought Teresa May was given a hard time as PM - she's a lot more able and capable than we know.

Lovely speech.

Agree with previous posters it was lovely to see the MPs being polite to each other across political lines and I thought the speeches were very good, particularly those of Johnson and May.

I saw that @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius .

It repeated her line about the Queen's radiant smile about 5 times. 😁
At first, I thought it was me who was glitching

I did like the little dig to the MPs that her meetings with the Queen was the only briefing where information wasn't leaked.

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius i had the glitch too .

I saw the glitch too, and yes Theresa May's speech was v.good.

Liz Truss was probably just very very worried about getting it wrong. Hopefully she'll grow into her role, not a great way to have to start.

I watched with my jaw on the floor - where was that warmth and personality when she was PM?!

Yes it was lovely. I turned BJ off, I wish just can't bear to hear him. He bare faced lied to the Queen, lied to the country. I wish the media would stop giving him air time. Thank goodness he isn't PM at this sad and historic moment.

Do you know where I can find the video, OP?

I turned over because of thre glitch and then turned back to hear all of the Commons laughing! What was the cheese joke? (Please!)

It made me think that Teresa May is most likely not as staid & boring as she came across when she was PM. I think she's probably very good company.
