Return of the Maybot!

HER robotic dancing as Prime Minister first raised eyebrows three years ago.

But Theresa May brushed off ridicule over her ‘Maybot’ moves, later showing them off on stage at the 2018 Tory conference to the Abba classic Dancing Queen.

Now the ex-Prime Minister, who has cut loose on the backbenches since leaving No10, proved she is still footloose at the Spectator magazine’s Parliamentarian of the Year awards party on Wednesday.

With Dancing Queen playing, she rebooted her infamous moves as she shimmied on stage to collect the award for Backbencher of the Year. Mrs May wryly thanked ‘those of my parliamentary colleagues who ensured that I was on the backbenches’ as she scooped the gong at the bash at London’s Rosewood Hotel.

Since leaving power in July 2019, the Maidenhead MP has been a vocal critic of

Boris Johnson’s Government. Mrs May has taken aim at the Government’s approach to foreign travel, the Afghanistan crisis and attempts to clear Owen Paterson’s name.

She was first mocked when she was filmed awkwardly dancing with children in South Africa in 2018.
