May’s dirty dancing (and a dirty joke)

THERESA MAY, left, is proof there is life after tumultuous leadership. This past year she’s demonstrated a much more fervent passion from the backbenches than she ever showed at PMQs. And this week she was rightly awarded Backbencher of the Year Award by the Spectator.

On stage at the boisterous annual dinner, she began by recreating the dance that once had a nation cringing. This time it had the audience cheering. Then to loud guffaws she launched into a dirty joke. With Boris squirming over the Paterson affair and his Brexit deal coming home to roost, these last weeks have clearly added a spring to those infamous kitten heels.
