Seriously folks

(Ha! #2,000! Take that @JoeThePop )

When Theresa May was first promoted to the Conservative front bench in 1999, says The Spectator’s James Heale on X, she began receiving letters of congratulation from “appreciative young men”. One typical missive read: “We’ve been watching you on television for years, congratulations, good to see someone from that background getting into Parliament!” It turned out that people were confusing her for Teresa May, a popular adult film star. Brilliantly, the two women went on GMTV later that year for a joint interview. They were both extremely complimentary – “I’m sure she does her job well,” the politician said of the porn star – and enjoyed their chat so much that they went out for coffee together afterwards.
