Watch: Theresa May’s ‘smooth exit’ mocked by MPs

If you think performing stand-up sounds like your worst nightmare, imagine standing in front of several hundred hostile MPs while your government falls apart. Such is Theresa May’s lot as she currently gives a statement to parliament about her Brexit deal.

Fortunately for the PM, her speech provided no short of laughs, especially with this killer line:

‘It is a draft treaty that means we will leave the EU in a smooth and orderly way on the 19 March 2019.’

Perhaps a career in stand-up beckons after all…
