PM confesses: I blubbed on election night
THERESA May yesterday admitted she wept when she realised her gamble to call a snap general election had spectacularly backfired. And the delusional Prime Minister insisted it came as a “complete shock” when husband Philip told her the details of the BBC exit poll that correctly predicted she would lose her majority.
“It took a few minutes for it to sink in,” May said, because “we didn’t see that result coming”.
“My husband gave me a hug,” she added, and she cried a “little tear”.
The Prime Minister said she did not watch the exit poll herself, as “I have a little bit of superstition about things like that”.
May also refused to accept criticism for failing to acknowledge the fact that she had lost her majority in a widely panned speech in Downing Street the following day.
She said: “At that point in time I felt what was important was giving people the confidence of knowing there was going to be a government.”
May added that she did not regret calling the election because “I think it was the right thing to do at the time”.
An SNP spokesman said: “It will come as a surprise to many that the Prime Minister is capable of emotion. But with a summer of Tory plotting and backstabbing ahead, there will be plenty more tears to come.”
