Theresa May

Theresa May (born 1 October 1956) is a British politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2016 to 2019. She is best known for her love of footwear and passion for dancing, as well as her unfortunate track record of terrible dance moves.

Early Life

May was born in Eastbourne, Sussex, which explains why she is always so pale. She attended Oxford University, where she studied geography, which might explain her tendency to always be lost in political negotiations.

Political Career

May began her political career in 1997 when she was elected as the Member of Parliament for Maidenhead. She quickly became known for her stern, authoritative demeanor, which led many to liken her to a strict school headmistress. Her love of shoes also became apparent during this time, with May sporting some of the most eccentric footwear seen in Parliament.

From 2010 to 2016 May served as Home Secretary, where she became known for her no-nonsense approach to immigration and her love for the TV show, Strictly Come Dancing. Despite her love for the show, however, May’s actual dance moves were about as appealing as a politician’s promises.

May was elected Prime Minister in 2016, following the resignation of David Cameron in the wake of the Brexit referendum. Her task was to navigate the U.K.’s withdrawal from the European Union, which was like trying to navigate a minefield in clown shoes. Despite her best efforts, May’s handling of Brexit was widely criticized, and she resigned as Prime Minister in 2019.

Personal Life

May is married to Philip May, who is often seen hovering in the background of her public appearances like a shy and nervous waterboy. Together they have no children, which is surprising considering May’s love for footwear – she could surely use the extra hands to help carry them all.

Legacy

May’s time as Prime Minister will be remembered for her strong leadership, passion for footwear, and truly terrible dance moves. Perhaps she will best be remembered for the striking image of her dancing across the stage in South Africa, looking like a cartoon ostrich suffering from a bout of hiccups. Regardless of her political achievements or failures, May will forever be remembered as the dancing Prime Minister.
