The Tories must be seriously bad now as i now feel Teresa May was more of the moderate and rational side on their party than anyone else lol.
Strange isn’t it
She always was, but that doesn't detract from her terrible legacy. Just highlights how ghastly her peers are.
I mean if you compare her to Johnson Truss and Sunak she definitely is more moderate
I thought she was terrible as Home Secretary, and of course as PM, but compared to the likes of Braverman, Patel etc seems quite human!
She was absolutely terrible, but yeah, it's quite insane just how much worse Tories were able to sink since her premiership.
funny how whenever someone has something of substance to say in the House of Commons it's always completely empty
The HoC , too !
Yep! They run 🏃♂️ in , tag their commons pass on the electronic register and run 🏃♂️ back out to their waiting taxi and that’s them done for the day! Lol the truth hurts .
Funny how people like you don't know about how MPs have to divide their time between constituency and house of commons. You think the MP for Orkney can make it to every commons speech?
@@PorthLlwyd Calm down mate Alistair Carmichael isn't going to love you back.
Very little of the commons business happens in the chamber. It’s mostly done in committees, offices, and meeting rooms.
You know we're fucked when Teresa May sounds like a wise sage from the good old days
lol good ol' 2017 where she was getting whooped by Corbyn and begging to hold onto her job. Didn't give a shit* about the dead at Grenfell, took too long to investigate it and then gave a robotic speech on it.
2017 - 2019 was terrible time in UK
Skill issue.. Britons are not relevant in world, When is the last time you find a strong Briton whether its Business, Geopolitics or economics etc... Without the support of USA you guys are nothing , The only thing you guys brag about your colonial past.. Coming years will more dark for Britons
😂😂😂
@ThePrinceOrtmayer not to mention she couldn't even negotiate properly in Brussels so Brexit was a complete nonstarter.
Only about 50 bored MPs turn up for the final speech of a former PM. So much disrespect in the commons these days
They're off raising campaign funds.
There is an election campaign going on.
@@ThePrinceOrtmayeryh its basically everyone who is also stepping down thats there
She is a better ex-PM than as a PM.
Lol
She was dealt an impossible hand during her premiership, but I believe that she had good intentions.
True of literally every Tory PM but I take your point.
That's an understatement
The circumstances under which she became Prime Minister; and, the gutter sniping by the Johnsons, Rees-Moggs and Bravermans of the House made her tenure near impossible. I think had she become prime minister at a different time, she would have performed better (and viewed differently). Disagree with her policies, but she was a dedicated public servant; and, those who have followed her have been woefully inadequate.
Imagine how far to the right the Tories have lurched and how deranged some of them are that Theresa May looks and sounds like a political titan.
Only if you have the memory of the goldfish, she's a ghoul
@@nomoreheroes93 I'm a goldfish that's evolved to use the keyboard.
Lurched to the left, more like.
@@froggiewrench1most sensible comment on here 😊
@@froggiewrench1 do you live in lala land? In what world are the conservatives more left than they were in 2016
I strongly disliked her policies, and hated her handling of Grenfell, and yet despite that, she is possibly the last Conservative PM with some shred of dignity. It’s about time we rid this government.
Dignity? It used to mean something didn't it, dignity. So attributing it to a liar like May is fine with me as it means nothing to most people in the country.
Please provide evidence of Teresa May's dignity. She's the worst PM the UK has ever see, including Sunak and Truss.
@@user-yj8eq5cv8o Problem is Labour are just as bad if not worse
@@ThePrinceOrtmayer Go on then, I'll bite. How are Labour "possibly worse"? That's the sort of nonsense that Tory voters come up with to try to defend their awful party against whatever they're accused of. And the difference is, of course, that they Tories are in power and what they do *matters*.
@@ThePrinceOrtmayer no they aren't. Go away.
I remember saying to a friend when she resigned that I had a suspicion we would sink so low that we’d end up missing Teresa May. I hate being right.
You're wrong, pal. She won't be missed. She's no moderate, she's hard, hostile and fcking mean.
I don't miss her.
I couldn’t agree more some MP’s take their jobs for granted and don’t think of their constituents
Hello Greasy-Smug
Sir kieth springs to mind
We have one like that in North Antrim. Our lives a mere plaything to him. Elected by his fathers name. Not a serious man.
It's the family business for some. They only do it coz their parents did
.... and Theresa May was the worst of them.
I'm not a Conservative by any stretch, but like John Major, Mrs May was a conscientious leader who continues to command respect because of her dignified integrity.
it'll never cease to amaze me how short everyone's memory is and how quickly they are willing to to rehabilitate people like May with platitudes like "dignified integrity". christ
I'm about as anti Tory as you can get, but I've always kind of liked Teresa May. I might not always have agreed with her politics but I always thought she was genuine, a hard worker and someone who didn't like playing silly party political games and instead would co operate with other people to get things done. Not the greatest leader, but she seem to me to be more of a second in command type a bit like Gordon Brown. Willing to do the hard work, but not the most skilled at bringing people together under their banner for a common goal. As much as I want a complete wipe-out of the conservative party I think I'll miss her being around. At least a little bit.
Yes, she seems to actually believe in what she says. As much as I disagree with her politics, I can certainly respect that.
Best Prime Minister of the last five ...... Not saying much!
Oxymoronic first sentence but okay
@@jeongbun2386 this isn't English class but okay.
@@spicy7302 sorry 🤕
I honestly feel bad for Theresa. She had the role of PM pushed upon her after Cameron bowed out, she never wanted Brexit, did what she could to fight a fire with nothing but her own lungs. She deserved better than the Tories.
You weren't paying attention when she was Home Secretary then?
I don't feel bad for a failed racist.
@@MissBlennerhassett876Yeah but they are talking about when she was PM, 2 different periods and responsibilities
@@natenae8635 Same horrible woman.
I don't feel bad for her.She wanted to be a president and she made it.
I think she was a cool president.
Basically conservative party sinks since they blocked her and they fell apart since she was blocked.I feel sorry for their decision but not for her.
She's correct on this topic, I can give her that, but we should not forget the hostile environment nor the other pains inflicted on the vulnerable in this country.
Agreed 👍
Absolutely.
Absolutely 👏🏾👏🏾
Saying what you think in a final speech is futile. Saying what you think when people have to rely on you is when it matters.
Well said.
Exactly
100%
Yep. It's easy to tell the truth over your shoulder on your way out the door - where was this from her two years ago?
Hear Hear
Am I the only one who actually feels sympathy for Teresa May? I am by no means a Tory, but I do believe she did have the best interests of the public at heart and attempted to do the best she could. For me, it was the pure emotion during her resignation speech that got me. You could clearly tell how much she wanted and strived to put the country and the people in a better position. ):
When looking at politicians, please do have some caution regarding the way they carry themselves and communicate. These are master communicators able to control and lead a party. Don't get caught up in the moment, even if she is a decent ex-PM.
@@MrBoliao98 - She was elected in her constituency for 27 years; so she must have been doing something right that people were happy with.
@@AmberJays well, I always do hope for that. I've never interacted and laid my judgement. But well, she must be at the least a likeable MP.
She was responsible for Windrush, wrongly deporting people. Then became the PM and Amber Rudd carried the can. She quite literally ruined the lives of hard working innocent people. Just another tory at work.
@@AmberJays Or just in a really safe seat!
I'm not a Conservative and never will be. I think that Theresa's invention of the Hostile Environment was vile. However she has been the only Conservative PM that I can feel a modicum of respect, due to her integrity. She was not self-servicing like her predecessors and those who came after her.
Hear!, hear!
As Home Secretary, she was a disgrace. It's tragic that she most likely acted just like her voters and her party wished.
As PM she was just unsuitable.
But she obviously made her best to serve her party, her constituency and her country.
(One can only wish it had been in the other order.)
It shows how little you really care for the Hostile Environment if you can then follow it up with those apologetics and platitudes. 🤢🙄
She was an awful Primeminister, nevermind that she presided over The Hostile Environment.
Ted Kaczynski had "integrity" too, so what.
Well. apart from her husband taking over massive parts of the prison system and hospital facilities (G4S). you know. she never served her own priorities!
Submarine May, that was her nickname during the 2016 EU referendum campaign. She jumped on the Leave bandwagon the day she realised her moment had come, opportunism at its worst not leadership!
@@giansideros what do you mean?
Her record whilst in the home office would suggest it definitely wasn't about others with her.
I’m not a Theresa May fan but she does come across as human here. She probably wasn’t acting as she would have wanted but just doing what she was told - less freedom but for more money and more responsibilities. Get the impression the home secretary and prime minister days weren’t her favourite of all her years in service. Sometimes people do those jobs “for the good of the party” rather than it being something they chose for themselves. And her words about selflessness indicates that may have been the case for her. Also you can tell what she thinks of Rishi Sunak!!
Crazy, right? And isn't she a Vicar's daughter? Such Christian values that spike of creating a "hostile environment"!
@@mj-gb6tr
Yes he is, just look into her Father.
She certainly threw Amber Rudd under the bus.
@@paulgodman7939Windrush if I remember right. Even the tamest tories are waiting to screw someone over.
Probably the most important topic she's ever brought up and its as an exit, when the house is near empty, we currently have some absolute nutters who are pushing their own agenda, not the publics.
You mean pushing the WEF sand WHO agenda

@@AshleySharif-ly2mi
There can NEVER be >= 1 God"!
A decent and articulate speech indeed. She may end up in the same bracket as John Major...not totally annoying...and it's a pity that she was surrounded by some truly awful and nasty people during her time. Despite her Tory flaws and mistakes made in politics, she's almost a goddess compared to Sunak, Truss, Johnson...and Cameron before her. I reckon history may be a bit more kind to her than these others.
Fair play to the woman. Don’t get me wrong, I’m certainly not a fan but have to respect the points and the dignity.
You know what, I agree. It almost hurts me to show a Tory some quiet respect...but she doesn't totally annoy me. Perhaps quite Major-esque in her legacy?
I disagree with nearly all her politics, particularly when she was Home Secretary, but she tried to at least mitigate some of the very worst aspects of Brexit in clear risk and ultimately at the cost of being prime minister. She isn’t a chancer like the current mob. She has standards, I don’t agree with them, but she has personal integrity.
She has just called out Patel, Braverman, Hunt, Sunak and above all Johnson.
…not forgetting Lettuce
@@yerbacolora1277to be fair Liz isn't really egotistical like the others. She like May actually wanted to help people
@@Gavin48what are you on about? It was all about her ego, her speeches over in the US basically prove that.
@CRhodey She is fighting for the West. Not herself.
@Gavin48 Help! Using the advice from a think tank to actually tank the economy, not to mention she now uses Trump as inspiration
Damn right lady, politics needs to serve the people NOT CORPORATE INTERESTS OR THEMSELVES!
Can't forgive her for her response to Grenfell. Can't forgive her for creating the 'hostile environment'. Can't forgive her for signing the EU Withdrawal document. She did her best, but her best wasn't good enough. Just loving being a politician is not a virtue in itself. Good riddance. I gather there are now over 70 Tories now jumping ship. At least she made her resignation intentions clear some time ago.
I met her at a function in Maidenhead in 2002/3 when i was a rep for my company. She was lovely in person, but as it turned out, a totally disastrous PM.
Yes good Home Secretary just not up to top job. A very good local MP attended many local events and supported local charities. Sadly for Tory Party she looks head and shoulders above most Tory MP's both in and out for the current cabinet. Maidenhead struggling to find a suitable replacement for her.
@@chrisraine4678 Windrush?
I met Theresa May at a charity do one time. She was surprisingly funny and very down to earth.
@Pegaroo_ yep,she was a monster of a Home Secretary. Totally ruthless.
@@AshleySef08 Until you pointed it out, I hadn't realised that Theresa May is so similar to Limmy.

You stitched us up good and proper may
BoJo did that.
Hear hear. This leaving stuff is rose tinted.
yep mrs may did pro europe at least she did have birthday cake made by civil service
It was Cameron really then left her to deal with it
She was horrific. Yet still would have her as PM over what came after her.
I may get some flack for this but I would sincerely say Theresa May is the last great Tory of history: it is hard to deny she is a genuine, sincere, good hearted person who truly cares for the country and the people of Britain, even if you don't agree with her ideologically. It is almost surreal watching her speak in the Commons on the Tory bench, as if she's from an entirely different era of British political history - and really, that is because she is, up there with the likes of John Major as a Tory politician with dignity and integrity, who transcends and humbly defies the typical self-motivated career politicians we have all grown to become so accustomed to. She should be proud and pat herself on the back as the only MP in the Conservative Party who stands out as a politician of decency and virtue. I'll miss her.
Chin up, maybe after the election only the best Tories will be left and Rory Stewart can win the leadership. Maybe May might return to cabinet.
What a hypocrite. Everything she has said goes just as much for her. Didn't care a jot for the people of Grenfell.
The entire governement of the UK has been taking the piss out of the UK for over 100 years. Labout/Tory it doesn't matter!
Another WEF puppet.
Definitely.
Johnny foreigners you mean
And in her book, she is openly apologetic about it and uses it as an example of MPs and ministers not fulfilling the role that they were elected to do
As an Adieu speech in the Palace of Westminster goes, that was rather commendable. Regardless of political views or social standpoints, one would do themselves a disservice to not appreciate the presence, respectability and indeed honour in Mrs May’s parting words to a chamber and a country which she has served faithfully for so long. One leaves, we must hope another can truly replace her. Peace in our time and to all who ever read this.
She voted with the harmful policies. Every single one of them. Every single one. Now she's on her way out, she's wringing her hands about how terrible it was. She voted for them.
Theresa May. The right Prime Minister at the wrong time. If Brixit hadn't happened the country would probably be in a much better place and the Tories probably wouldn't be falling apart so spectacularly. Could be the end of the conservative party, political parties have dissolved before. Conservative Party is not immune.
I don’t think she would’ve become PM if brexit wasn’t voted for, Cameron would’ve stayed and then be replaced by Johnson
@@Mike-jv9cl no I think it's Johnson who would never have been PM if the country had voted Remain. The moment Johnson chose to back Leave, all his hopes rested on that winning. Don't forget that Johnson ran to be leader at the same time as May, but was stabbed in the back by Gove, leading to them both being in her cabinet.
May, however, was in the running for the job even before the referendum. Cameron never intended to lead the next general election campaign, which would have been 2020 if we'd actually had a full five years.
The Leave vote is responsible for all the other three; Johnson, Truss & Sunak, but not May.
I think the problem is MPs /Politions have decided that they are selling themselves to the public and not entering to serve the public, quite right T May, it actually feels like we are serving them not the other way around. they are deaf to the people and this is a disgrace
Absolutely, they make me want to scream.
That's nice and everything but she didn't exactly help prevent the situation we are in
With regard to xenophobia and abysmal treatment of refugees, you have a point.
With regard to how Brexit developed, she did her best, but was outsmarted by the ERG, massmedia and Corbyn.

Take away: don't wait till your final speech to thank everyone who you need to.
Over last few years I have to admit I've misjudged Teresa May she's one the few Tories that has integrity and in hindsight her soft brexit policy should have been adopted ,after watching State of the nation by the BBC in which Boris Johnston basically stuck the knife into Teresa you begin to realize why May hated Boris ,but Teresa made sure she got him back over the whole party gate stuff and look who's ending there political career in the right way Teresa may not have been the most charismatic of prime Minister but she was a proper politician
So she put her own personal grievances above the interests of the nation. That shouldn't be lauded.
@@fulloftruthguardian5420Bruh, if HOC had just voted her deal Britain would’ve been a whole lot better off economically and politically.

I’m talking about her deal, Her Brexit Deal, It was the public who voted Brexit not her “mates”. She was simply tasked with sorting it.
So is May talking about her self as well?
You can disagree with her politics but you can't disagree with her integrity
I can and I do!
It’s a shame no one was there to hear the speech….

UC cost lives and she stood by it, more lives than any recent terrorist attacks. Good riddance.
This comment is so out of touch and disgusting, tell that to people who’ve lost friends and family to terrorists, 33,000 people were killed by terrorists in 2018 alone or do they not matter because the majority of them weren’t white, don’t try to compare welfare policy with terrorism, you look like an idiot

👏 Probably one of the best and important speeches made by Theresa May, especially on her account of democracy and the continual need to check to ensure that democracy isn't being subtly eroded, and her account of 'career politicians'.
Just goes to show, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Don't be fooled, she's still "one of them"
Yea yea yea .yea yea yea .😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly!
She has proven herself to be a decent politician in a horrific party
It's really wild how Theresa May of all people ended up being the most graceful, honorable and respectable of this era of conservative prime ministers
“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”

Egos and public service, something that happens to exist all too commonly.... we're here to serve the public, remember that.
30 years ago we thought democracy had won: what when wrong?
We got politically lazy.
I blame Murdoch and the media to a large extent. Politicians for not controlling their lies and dodgy practices. Eg Reagan got rid of the law that said news programmes had to be even handed. Also corruption eg campaign funding. Eg in the USA AIPAC. These could all be fixed somewhat but the Politicians are afraid of the media and the lobbies.
She has a lot to answer for.
Definitely.
She didn't thank Amber Rudd for being thrown under bus for Windrush.
The lineage of these people is beyond unadulterated evil: slavery, genocide, murder, rape, oppression, abuse, division, hate, bigotry, theft, greed and always racism. And their descendants continue their Wickedness. Now I ask, you are these the Acts of Good People or the Acts of Devils?😐 It's for you to answer.
Hate her or not, she was respected by her constituents, repeatedly elected because of her dedication to her constituency. Just like Corbyn, Abbot and Harman.
In the end she did her job given to her by her electorate and we need to respect that, regardless of how we feel personally ideologically.
I was not exactly a fan of her as PM, I don’t think she was strong enough. However, I genuinely think that she wants what is best for the country and cares about the impact parliament has on our lives. Very down to earth, and at the moment she’s a light within this dark and god awful Tory party. One of the very few I’ll be sad to see go.
Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) of Bournemouth East is one. If it isn't defence, he isn't interested.
I don’t agree with Theresa Mays politics, but one thing I can say is that I respect her message and the time she has been an MP.
As piss takes go,well done.
😂😂😂
I don't like her policies but really grown to like her personality ❤
I admire her! She's conducted herself with great dignity!
It's always a shame that people only have these revelations when leaving Parliament.
Whilst many might have rose tinted glasses with respect to Mrs May, I always remember her cowardly pulling out of the leaders debate, leaving Amber Rudd to cover for her, even though Ms Rudd's father had just passed away.
So interested in democracy that she wouldn't meet the demos of that democracy. Instead hiding in stage managed sets.
So interested in the standards of public debate that she wouldn't do it.
So interested in the interests of the people that she pushed Brexit through.
People keep talking about her belief in doing the right thing. The issue is that she didn't believe anything. Remember that point when she publicly reached out for ideas from the Labour party, to which they offered her the manifesto?
Unfortunately she is one of these careerists who she speaks of. She didn't really want to do anything. She didn't really know what would be good for the country. She just blindly accepted that since a project had started she must deliver it, not really appreciating the impossible nature of that task.
If she was really what she believed she was, she could have made this into a pivotal moment for Tories, where they might have had a chance at a unifying theme, even at the cost of losing some of her MPs. Her incompetence has sorted of created it anyway, because Johnson weaponised that moment against it.
Crazy to think her terrible premiership was actually a high point for the Tories.
"Theresa May comes for careerist politicians in a Commons Speech to 10 MPs" FTFY

She may have different views and was hampered by brexit, but I think her respect for the office of prime minister deserves respect

What about Eleanor Liang?
Absolutely no prizes for guessing who that was aimed at and she's not wrong.
A sample of politicians of both sides are career minded. But it’s also our fault because, for some reason, we keep voting for them.
She's given many a nice speech in the past few years against many terrible conservative bills however she still *votes for them*
I don't care how poetically she speaks she's still a Tory!
She's also the root cause of many of our problems today, including the hostile environment against immigrants
Whatever you think of Theresa May’s politics, she had a reputation as a technocrat with an eye for detail. Windrush is a blot against her name.
Say what you will about her politics .. you have to admit she’s a damn good speaker.
I‘ve never been a Conservative and probably never will be, but I can agree with Theresa May on what she said in her last speech in the Commons. It is a huge privilege to represent your people and to serve your country as an MP. And we must do everything we can to defend our demoratic values!
Democracy demands accountability, which is very much undermined and suppressed by Parliament.
The House stated that, and I quite, "there is no mechanism within parliament to uphold the code of conduct for MP's".
Therefore democracy for us voters is only for 1 day every 5 years, for the rest, MP's can deceive us, prevent us access to protection , and without doubt can act without integrity or probity, go figure why MP's lie to us.
Its should be a public service not a career path to fame and fortune would have been more apt , not second jobs ignoring the constituency and no integrity
I am glad that a former PM has decided to stand down l.
Thanks
Ach, lassie, away and run about in the wheat fields!
“Bullshit means bullshit”!
Looks like a lot of kids are still bunking off the last week of term. Not surprising. The Commons has an attendance record that would have any inner city comprehensive on special measures for eternity. That little rant aside, I can't disagree with any of the words coming out of May's mouth, I simply find it ironic they are coming from someone who thought it OK to strike grubby deals with the DUP for the sake of her career. It's as if these people understand the problem but not that they are a massive part of it.
A decent woman
Bit awkward for Mat Hancock having to listen to the bit about careerist politicians 😬
Haha. Loved the dig at Truss "I've never been a member of another party and I was always a Conservative in the room"

She was never given the chance she deserved, how could she, as Boris had other ideas, lied and deceived to gain power at her expense, and we all know how that ended up.
Great loss.
get real she was a tory witch , good riddance to her and her ilk
The chance she deserved was not to sell us out to the EU. Hmm.
She did not, but Boris did, and lied.
Let's be honest, the fact that Brexit is still a major topic defines Boris oven deal failed, brexit failed, and continues to do so.
@@MartynHarris-gb1gg Granted BJ is an unashamed liar, but May was never up to the job. A woeful Home Secretary and way out of her depth as PM. What has followed is an utter shitshow as Britain is about to get and deserve a Labour government. The whole Tory movement is a busted flush.
