When it came to being naughty, Theresa May got her kicks from wheat, not weed

THERESA MAY has never smoked cannabis in her life, her official spokesman said yesterday.

Norman Lamb, the Liberal Democrat former health minister, suggested that “probably half the Cabinet” had used the class B drug, but Downing Street made it clear that the Prime Minister had not.

Mr Lamb claimed the Government’s policy of banning cannabis for recreational use was “dreadful hypocrisy” because Cabinet ministers would have used it “unless they’re a group of very odd people”.

Sir Desmond Swayne, the former Conservative minister, joked during a poorly-attended Commons debate on cannabis: “Where is everybody? I hope in the light of the extraordinary accusations of [Mr Lamb] they are not behind the bike sheds having a spliff.”

Last year Mrs May said the “naughtiest” thing she had ever done was running through a field of wheat as a girl.

She admitted to ITV at the time: “Nobody is ever perfectly behaved, are they? I mean, you know, there are times when... I have to confess, when me and my friend sort of, used to run through the fields of wheat.”
