Shortly after she came to power, Theresa May’s stilted delivery, robotic responses and inability to answer even the simplest of questions led to her being dubbed the Maybot. It is a name which has stuck with the PM ever since.
But now it seems as if May has undergone a startling transition: from Maybot to Meerbot. In a statement today in the House of Commons, May responded to a question from the SNP’s Ian Blackford about Brexit, by saying that the best way to avoid no deal was to back her own Brexit deal with the EU. May ended the speech though with this startling reference to Aleksadr the meerkat, the official mascot of the Compare the Market price comparison site:
‘If he wants to end the uncertainly, and deal with the issue he raised, in his response to my statement, then he should vote for a deal: Simples’
