Although Theresa May’s premiership is now looking anything but strong and stable, the Prime Minister will be pleased to learn that one MP at least is still sticking to the script.
After we learnt this morning that the Queen’s Speech may be delayed as the Government tries desperately to thrash out a deal with the DUP, May’s ‘coalition of chaos’ attack line is coming back to haunt her.
While a number of Tory backbenchers have come forward to criticise her since the result, happily one MP still has her back. Step forward Alan Mak. He has been valiantly re-using May’s election lines today in a bid to reassure people that things were still very much strong and stable. Mak popped up on BBC News to say that:
‘Our job is to make sure that we form a strong and stable government.’
Mak was taken to task by presenter Simon McCoy who asked him, ‘Are you really still saying strong and stable?’, to which the MP replied: ‘Our job is to provide certainty’.
