Did Teresa May pull up a sign that said "roast me"
wolflord4 it's called parliament. I know. I love my country to.
Alex Daniel House of commons already more interesting than most political debates
Seems that way, wolflord.
Alex, you say 'parliament'... I say, 'bloodsport'. It's all getting very vicious. There's more than a hint of using the chaos, instigated by her predecessor, to jostle for power. The chalice is forever poisoned, now.
bat in the attic that's pretty cynical. Parliament has always been and forever will be a blood sport. That's part of the Parlé and in Parliament and is what makes British democracy great, in my opinion. Now I certainly agree under a Tory government that the position of prime minister is a difficult one to take, because they have more divisions and fissures than the house of Usher at this point, and have been since before David Cameron took office. Brexit had nothing to with Europe and was everything to do with Cameron trying to mend the rift in his party. Now it's time to sit back, grab a bag of popcorn and enjoy the purge because it's crisis which makes democracy.
lol
At least the parties are uniting over something.
Cameron180 lol
Still uniting though.
@Dan Williams NO COLLUSION!
Haha
@matty kelly in or out the bankers still control us. Moron. Brexit was given to the UK as a way to blame the voters of brexit for the up coming financial crash in 2020, just so you know. The plutocrats are laughing at everyone who fell for it.
God I love the variety of accents
Strength in unity of different peoples is what makes Britain great. :P (Now lets get on with it!)

I listened to the vid without watching. Thought it was Gordon Ramsey for a moment.
The British parliament comedy central roast of Theresa May
@Build or die fortnite the people voted to leave the EU but instead we have some wishy washy diluted version erring on the side of remaining if not, then a whole hearted remain style brexit shrouded in mystery to con the people and majority who voted to leave of its true definition.
A total shambles.
I was going to say ‘bring on the clowns’ but they’re all here already 😂
I nominate this comment to replace the title of this video. Simply put, it's better.
Come to Australia
This is a perfect day for a Siths to takeover. hehehe... >:)
Dennis Skinner of all people presses his argument by quoting Margaret Thatcher. Now we have heard everything.
That's exactly what I was thinking lol
Thatcher was pro EU and Skinner has always been anti EU
SplodgenessAbounds as if people always need to be on the same side of things to appreciate each other.

Politics in the UK is brutal. Are they saying all this stuff to her face, wow!
Yep! American?
Prime minister question Time every Wednesday at midday.
And 10 feet away ... US politics would never survive this. There would be guns pulled by the 3rd time. Granted, UK politicians are extremely tolerable. This level of attack and outrage was uncommon. Usually both sides of the parliament would boo or shout down someone acting a fool (like a Matt Gaetz pedofile type does every single day his military Panhandle taxpayers put him there).
Ouch. But let's be honest: The real cowards are the Nigel Farage's and Boris Johnson's who created this situation and then resigned as soon as the going got tough. Pathetic.
Simon Abbott pretty sure Cameron created this situation?
@@bluerallyes2 Cameron called the vote, maybe, but I'd say it was the Johnson's and Farage's who caused the vote to turn out the way it did
Too right! Nigel is a coward.
Simon Abbott Cameron called the vote ‘maybe’? How about definitely? He knew the parties were split on the EU and took a gamble believing the voters would side with his views and now here we are. This is wholly a situation of their own making and I agree that there are a whole bunch of them including Cameron, Farage and Johnson who have truly let us down with their absence in the last 12 months. I just don’t believe you/we can lay this situation squarely at the feet of a couple of leave campaigners.
Simon Abbott couldn’t agree more
I LOVE British insults! They level you before you even realize you've been cut.
but damn thats a lot of fires shot
*shots fired

You can talk. How many bullets did you hear this morning waking up?
Let's leave the EU they said, it's going to be fun they said.
Maximilian, well no, a select few said that and prevented thousands of British civilians living overseas from voting, even though they have a right to. We might not be in this whole situation lest we had let the extra few thousand vote. The result could’ve changed.
Dear @Dumbledore's Army, how much inbreeding was necessary for you to came out the way you are?

I’ve never known the pure delight of hearing “what the heck is going on?” in a thick Scottish accent until now. Thank you WaPo.
i think maybe they are slightly annoyed at her
Only a bit 😂
Who would’ve known?
I've always liked Dennis Skinner. Sure he can get a bit over excited but he's got more spine than most of the commons put together and doesn't mince his words.
TotallyToonsTV plus it's so satisfying when he is escorted out for refusing to take it back when he calls them out on their lies. Sometimes the truth needs to be told.
We can't have that in a democracy
@@thorpestanford5359 Sadly it's the illusion of Democracy we have at the moment. Maybe one day we'll really get there

It's a combination of a true working class background (he worked as a coal miner down in the pits before becoming a politician) and having a no-nonsense, compassionate attitude. He's a gem and one of the few politicians that are truly genuine and great.

I swear to god that after being humiliated like that, I would not let the skin of my face feel the touch of the sun ever again.
She got skinned by Dennis Skinner
Time to go, Theresa. You’ve failed. There’s no saving this one.
She is just a victim but the real reason for this deal that she is proposing is designed by someone else within UK
She didn't fail, she has seen it through like she said. Its the ones that want a new vote that are kicking off.
she fail ? omg.. british people fail.. its one big part.! you can`t blame one person for that..
@@haydeezz like trump then so Americans fail?
Theresa May: *Hold my beer...*
Dennis Skinner is the Best. I love watching his videos😂😂😂
I wish he becomes the leader of labour :( before he retires.
He's never accepted any responsibility for anything and stood by when his chum Scargill wrecked the mining villages.
I'd prefer Frank Skinner, as at least he's funny!
Gar Sm You display your ignorance: it was Thatcher who together with her heavy handed police thugs, devastated mining villages. Even now the people there hate her and the police for what they did.
Frank King - Which one was he? The black guy?
"Does she not realise how chaotic and ridiculous that makes our country look?"
The 2016 referendum already accomplished that plenty well.

How fkn dumb can you be?
@@europaischerstolz3897 I suppose you are too dumb to ask but here goes. How dumb CAN you be?
Aaron Dillon that’s what you get in the oldest parliament, entertainment lol, but yes it appears more transparent than the senate.
I know, America's are weird. From here (UK) it looks like they worship the president like a dictator! And if a journalist ask difficult questions they get banned. Apparently Americans actually think they live in the freest country in the world!?! 🤔😂
DaChaGee I think the same thing! Lol.
I know the UK is in a bad way at the moment, and I'd like to see May out of parliament as much as the next person, but I don't completely blame her. Cameron put us in this mess and she was left to deal with it.
How is it Cameron's fault, he was a Remainer and stepped down because he didn't want to lead the country into a cause he didn't believe in
@@Scrummy64 It was Cameron's fault because he allowed there to be a public referendum on Brexit.
@@West_87 Yeah because god forbid asking the people for their opinion for once ...
@@planebreach I don't think that the people should get to make a direct decision on an issue if one of the potential outcomes is so utterly and obviously disastrous. In my opinion, an issue so critical to the present and future economic health and well-being of a nation should be left to elected representatives rather than their constituents.
@@West_87 Is it ? According to who ? The Guardian ? A lot of very powerful people have a lot to lose and they are doing everything they can to reverse peoples vote.
And if you think that multiculti nonsense will be beneficial for your country long term, then you don't know much about history and the human civilization. There is a lot more than economic well being at stake for your country.
Time to dig up GUY FAWKES.
Yes, because that would mean chaos and destruction for UK - exact kind of favor that the world needs.
Mr May, at the end of the day: “Hello dear, good day at the office?”
No matter who would stand in her place there's not much they can do against the EU at this point unless it's Lord Buckethead
Well you could do a hard Brexit. Instead of wasting your time dealing with the EU ignore them and focus on dealing with other countries like the US. Also stop giving them your money. The UK is the second biggest contributor to the EU after Germany you don't think that is leverage in a negotiation? The UK is probably better off completely divorcing from the EU at this point. There will be economic bumps, but with the EU taking an authoritarian bent in response to Nationalist opposition the EU is going to fall apart if things continue as they are.
ShamanMcLamie exactly, we are supposed to pay them a 35 billion pound settlement for leaving as well! I say we tell them to shove it where the sun doesnt shine
@@joealyjim3029 Let them try and fight us as well! They will soon remember who they're daddy were 😂😂😂
@@joealyjim3029 a hard Brexit will cost your nation far more than 35 billion economically...
Michael Neufeld of course, but that will be money we have chosen to pay rather than money we have been told to pay. Can you imagine if the french and germans asked us to pay that amount in the 1800s? How this country has fallen
No prime minister is better than bad prime minister 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂😂😂😃
Now that I see it written, I see it has two meanings lol.
That's why they call him the 'beast of Bolsover'
Dennis Skinner.
Love the man.
Yes indeed, but please explain to the none Brit: what is the word “frit” ?
@@reinerwilhelms-tricarico344 English and I had to look it up. It's a fairly local slang Thatcher used once, meaning frightened. It was such a strange word choice she had it thrown back at her throughout her career.
Sounds more like the vulture of Bolsover...0:52 ironic these backstabbing players who've handed power to the EU by leaving defenseless and not supporting your PM - not even from the start when she was against Brexit in the first place - and leaving a divided mess for the vultures to pick through now are criticizing her for being powerless.
They criticize but never offer any solutions to help. Probably because they know it was never even able to be a good deal to begin with, and now it's down to even more unfavorable odds so they're just trying to score political points while you all suffer the consequences.
why are the brits so damn theatrical?? I love it
As an American, I really wish our president had to stand in front Congress and face his opponents. It would be fantastic!
Well it would be more like speaker, as they are elected by the house not directly by the people. This works better because it allows for minority opinions to be heard in government.
The fact that Skinner quoted his former arch-nemesis, Margaret Thatcher, shows how great is his contempt for the worst UK PM ever. Even Neville Chamberlain's actions were well-meant.
Dennis Skinner is a hero!
yes ahaha will always remember his attack on 'Dodgy Dave'
Dennis Skinner is a stupid ignorant old twat
Skinner is an outdated twat.. making quips in the commons shouldn't be enough to keep you in
@@no9scrum That'll be why he has the attendance and voting record that he has... the guys who've voted for him for half a century seem to be happy.
@@no9scrum I think you'll find he's duly elected, someone's a silly tw@ here and it's not him.
Theresa May is so hated 😂
Not even Jeremy Corbin would have been this bad, and I say that as someone who strongly opposed him in the last election.
The worst part is she's unelected by the people. She's only PM because David Cameron ran off like the cowardly slime he is.
@@hydrophobicspider Like Angela Merkel.
She lost the majority in that election. That's no mandate
@@Dizzyruptor David Cameron "ran off" because he didn't want the Brexit and that was much better than trying something you yourself don't support lol
Vote for a mess, get a mess.
We didn't even vote for her that's the irony.

UK politics is all about the personalities and not about the policies. PM May isn't the best but she has her hands tied by everyone in every direction. She has to do something she personally doesn't want to. Also brexit is the biggest issue facing the UK since they joined. People are blaming her but really the bigger blame in on others.
That is one hard job. :/ psychological damage at play.
poor theresa. i know i know, but still... they are so mean :)
I am a confused Indian enjoying their accents 🤣🤣🤣
"Dodgy Dave."This is what comes up my mind when I see Skinner!😂😂😂
God I wish American Congress could engage in such open robust debate.
Ol' Dennis still at it, what a lad 👌

"does she not see how chaotic and ridiculous this makes us look?"
*2 minute video of back and forth shouting*
Imagine if the American people had an institution like this where the President could be addressed about his policies.
Damn, I wish the members of the American Congress would talk like that. More would get done.
As an American when that guy said Thatcher had a word for her I was expecting anything other than "Frit" but what do I know, I'm just an American XD
Unity in politics at last. thanks Theresa :)
Damn, if was her, I would probably cry.
I know it's the middle of December but it feels like the end of May
As much as I dislike Dennis Skinner, I have to agree with him here, she does look weak and pathetic
Dennis Skinner!!! Woohoo!!
Favorite part is the Lady SNP declaring the PM is “an utter cluster burrow!” 1:48
All them people need a Proper job!
Honest to god i can not understand why she hasn't resigned. Unreal
Because that would be terrible for the conservatives right now. She is their Brexit catastrophe scapegoat for the time being, they're probably making her stay.
If only US politicians could be like this to the president. Good on the UK!
That Scottish lady could shout at me all day with that accent. I don't care it's just so cute to listen to :)
BTW that Irish guy's drunk face...for anyone who enjoys stereotypes :D
It’s treason then
The best course of action for her at this point:
Finish brexit
Resign with dignity
Love how they act as if they know better. Politics at its worst.
i bet half of them would be worse prime ministers.. they're the same people that wanted Brexit when it was trendy
May is so strong for trying to get the best deal where these idiots only criticize and don't bring new ideas to the table. The opposition will ruin the UK, all this energy in destroying may and they'll end up with no deal at all in the end.
If any of you think she's doing a good job at trying to get the best deal you're clueless
