Jeremy Corbyn wiped the floor with Theresa May during today’s Prime Minister’s questions (PMQs) as he grilled her over her hopelessness on Brexit issues. So much so, that the Deputy Speaker accidentally called him ‘Prime Minister’ and even HuffPost’s Paul Waugh couldn’t help but agree:
Corbyn won #PMQs by
6-0. May was left gasping like a stranded goldfish, her mouth moving but no answers emerging.
She needs to find Cabinet unity on postBrexit customs – and fast.— Paul Waugh (@paulwaugh) May 9, 2018
But the BBC is normally accused, with justification, of being impregnable when it comes to presenting May’s PMQs defeats as, at worst, a draw – and of covering for even the worst Tory disasters.
However, May’s performance today was so dire – and her vacuousness so obvious – that the proverbial hell froze over during the BBC News review of the session during its 1pm broadcast:
When even the BBC can’t deny that Theresa May is an answer-free ‘shambles’, you know that May is as woeful, weak and wobbly as Labour supporters have been saying all along. And not just May – her whole party that is using her as its human shield for its hopelessness.

I bet Chukka will come to her defence, just as he did over Windrush!
Even Laura Kuenssberg on today’s BBC Daily Politics kept referring to Theresa May’s fight to survive
Kuenssberg has had it in for May since her woeful election campaign, because she sees her beloved conservative party crumbling under May,s inept leadership. and I for one, find it absolutely hilarious.
BBC does nothing without reason… whether they are trying to garner some easy cred points or readying for another distraction exercise is not clear in this instance. Headlines about May’s weakness distract from the many hugely important (and dangerous) things going on at this time.
Normal service will be resumed once some bliarite or other opens their gob about Corbyn today…
This is no more than a bbc stunt to fall back on the next time their bias is called out.
