After almost three years in Number 10, the doomed struggle to deliver Brexit - and a snap general election which destroyed her parliamentary majority as well as her own authority, Theresa May is likely to be remembered among the great failures of British political history, rather than its great leaders...But it was her struggle to deliver Brexit that defined her whole time in office.

It went wrong on the day he took a job she was not capable of & involved a task she did not believe in...
The bottom line is that Theresa May is an academic and should have stayed away from front line politics.
@@robertdore9592 Academic at nothing ...
Agreed.
She should never have been picked as PM in the first place.
@@robertdore9592 Agreed.
She stayed 6 years as home secretary by keeping her head below the parapet & uttering little platitudes, that won't work as pm & neither did reading from a sheet of decisive sounding one liners.
Given modern standards, it quite possibly would have worked, at least for a while, but for the fact that she had to deliver Brexit. That was not something that she could kick into the long grass, nor was it something she could obfuscate or equivocate about: we're either out (properly) or we're not.
Good riddance.
@mannix flint Not no one, just you.
John Twist No, not just him. If the progressive left had coherent arguments, they wouldn't need to brainwash the young by continually telling them "You're only a moral person if you hate white people, men and capitalism".
Grievance-mongering nonsenses like "gender studies" and "African studies" have no place on respectable campuses.
@@bendarling5573 two of you then.
@mannix flint You or me?
she'll probably try and get an extension on the 7th June date!
And be defeated by the largest margin in Parliament's history.
Which year?
MMMMM where did it go wrong. Well she lied simple.
She was outclassed by EU leaders. They walked through her.
Derrica, she lied, boris lied farage lied, you`re just stupid !!
Derrica....name me a prime minister who in your life time, you think did a really good job?
Whatever rita, the remain camp never lied. Emergency budget, record unemployment, house prices crashing etc filthy remain scum
@@noelgavis1418 Russian interference, no medicines, ports being blocked, Northern Ireland troubles returning. They carry on lying to this day and then have the cheek to turn around and accuse everyone else of lying. It's sickening but the majority of people are on to their bullshit.
No question about it, lied straight through her teeth while looking the entire country in the face.
I think she always planned on Brexit compromise first, not last.
Where did it all go wrong? Her constituency returned her to Parliament
Out of her depth, Just because she wears a smart suit doesn't mean shes good enough to run the country. My worry is I look around the Tories and Labour and wonder out of that shower who is actually good enough to run Britain.
She should pay back her salary, expenses and forgo her pension for the last three years to reflect her lack of having done anything useful for that period.
Hey Superman Look grow up babes
Jonathan Watson you’re repeating yourself!
Hey Superman Look
4.1 billion pounds to still
Be in the eu. Sweet jesus.
2 prime ministers later.....
She knew this morning what
The vote result was. Thats why
She bailed. Brexit party blew
The house down i would bet.
She will never be remembered
Well.............. NEXT
Hey Superman, little man but a big mouth, if you are unemployed shut up, if you work and you are ill three times a year, you should not get a salary, why , if you are not there, the company cost a lot of many, your brain is as big as a pea,why, your comment is simply irreverent. May is history, i hope for you that the next PM does not make any mistakes, moron !!!
rita wahlers It’s interesting how you communicate. Superman expressed his opinion, so what, it’s only than an opinion. Buy why do you choose to can him a moron. I could say you are a moron yourself for trying to insult a complete stranger just for expressing his opinion..but I won’t. Listen to someone else’s opinion..have a counter argument if you don’t agree and discuss like intelligent adults.
Where did it all go wrong for Theresa May?
(1) A woman who'd had little experience in the arts of political combat or compromise -- she was essentially an administrator -- decided to become prime minister during the most divisive period of recent times in Britain.
(2) A woman who was a Remainer had to negotiate a secession from the EU.
(3) She "negotiated" by conceding everything early during the negotiations. In essence, she surrendered completely -- even though EU officials had said that they'd intended to make an example of Britain (in order to discourage other nations from following its example).
(4) Her proposed treaty was resoundingly defeated -- repeatedly -- yet she refused to stop trying to have Parliament approve it.
As a result, she drastically polarised the country, nearly destroyed her own party, and resigned only after repeated and dramatic defeats in Parliament and at the polls.
She had the wrong qualities for the circumstances.
She is duplicitous, pure and simple. She says one thing then does another, it all went wrong when she got found out that her withdrawal agreement left us tied up in EU bureaucratic rules and insisted it would only be temporary! I didn't believe her when she said "no deal is better than a bad deal" and "Brexit means Brexit". All lies....
Philip George, id love if Farage would step up and do find a deal guide the goverment in the direction so you all can figure out what a conman is😧
She is not a Briton. She never had our interests at heart. She never wanted to leave the yoke of the EU.
Where did it go wrong... She cared more for profit than for people. That's where
She promised one thing (Brexit) and then tried to deliver something completely different ( BRINO).
Then she got found out. She had to go.
Leaves the single market ✅
Leaves the customs union ✅

Sounds like brexit to me...

You seem to be a very sad individual.
Snow Flake - It sounds like the Brits who will suffer the most are the upper middle class (and some upper class), who are the voters Tories will lose with a hard Brexit. Brexit is the result of Tories trying to pander to the lower class - just like Trump did. However, no party can make everyone happy and the Brexiteers now know that the Tories will never throw wealthy Brits under the bus for the sake of the lower class.
@@jamesrosejr33 get an education, all comments are a reflection of a reality we're not supposed to know about. Now that we do they don't like it.
@@mypointofview1111 so the bit about 'Israel forcing the UK to take refugees because our politicians are paedophiles and Israel is blackmailing them' is a reflection of reality? It's lunatic anti-Semitism by my reckoning. Love to see you try and justify it though.
I am assuming that is a rhetorical question. But my guess is, it went wrong at conception.
Nasty lol
@@bdgerwillams9186
But true. Born a lame donkey!
Hahahahahahaaaaa! You are WRONG for saying that! Fie upon thee!
Good riddance to a complete waste of space, strong and stable Government LOL... takes more than a soundbite to lead.
Tell that to Farage. Hes built a poll topping political party built on the nonsense that is 'wto rules'. It literally means nothing yet millions flock to it like lemmings.
We live in a post fact world. Catchy slogans are more effective that successful policy.
@@jamesrosejr33 Nigel Farage for prime minister. You remoaner losers must be so pleased he's back.
@Roch Roch how am I a racist?
@@Balenza345 I'm not pleased he's back no. I really don't like lying mega rich politicians who are entirely self serving.
@@jamesrosejr33 I never realised farage was mega rich. He comes from a working class back ground. Very amusing how the establishment and the electoral comission tried to discredit him last week. If he is rich he deserves every penny.
As for self serving you are posting a load of tosh.
Sour grapes comes to mind.
The tories and labour need smashed and farage is just the man to do it.
Roll on the next general election and see them sent into oblivion where they belong.
From the worst Home Secretary to the worst Prime Minister, just go now spare us any more agony.
she was a good home secretary- she was involved in the windrush scandal
@@KYLE-tw9ie She announced to the world that UK would not enforce the 3-month rule for EU immigration. That encouraged any EU sponger to go to the UK, knowing they could claim welfare and housing without time limit. Anyone not an idiot could see that happening.
@@kasegiyabu5030 Well in all fairness the same rules apply to UK citizen in other countries. There are about 45000 adult UK citizens in the Netherlands alone and they have the right to welfare and housing as much as Dutch people. While about 100000 dutch citizens live in the UK. However, most of these people are working for big companies. They have salary and don't need handouts. I can't tell for other countries > to the east. though.
How many of those UK citizens in Netherlands are allowed to live indefinitely on Dutch welfare? I genuinely don't know.
@@kasegiyabu5030 Id ask the British pensioners in Spain 🤭
4:10 -4:55 most insightful insider perspective, she clearly lied all the way through up to and including her resignation.
When she got the Job.
Becoming a politician is were it all went wrong. Beyond incompetent. Absolutely useless at every position she held. Jog on.
Thant not very unusual in this business.
Truly cringe worthy.
Her mission has been accomplished delay Brexit in Hope's for a 3rd Referendum, and she calls herself a patriot and loves her country but would rather see it absorbed up into the EU, I think that is the definition of a Traitor. She was hand picked for a reason, because she was a terrible home secretary.
JUST ANOTHER LIAR POLITICIAN SHE WILL BE FOLLOWED BY ONE OF THE SAME.
I hope Britain find its rightful leader soon.
Under Theresa May's watch, White people became a minority in London. She is a traitor to England!
You are right Paul. Boris Johnson is the biggest most obvious 'career' politician I have ever seen. A man who never saw a bandwagon that he didn't like if it progressed his personal ambitions. Scum.
Best hope is Mogg. A reasonable human being and a devout christian. That would be a man who would put a serious brake on muslim plans for a total takeover.
She will be followed by another Zio/Masonic puppet.
Unless we get Farage or civil war.
"Lying an appalling accusation to make about a prime minister particular one from our party"
😂😂😂😂😂🤣
"But it certainly came across that way."
What?!
The moment she first said "Strong and stable".
"Where did it all go wrong?".....It seems pretty simple; people voted to leave the EU, and she did everything she could to stop that from happening. Being tone deaf to what the people want is a death knell for a politician.
Watching people carrying the podium is so weird I honestly just assumed it was set out side permanently.
She was simply the wrong person for the job. The Tories made a mistake.
The biggest problem with Theresa May's leadership is that when she assumed office, she inherited a situation which was already bad, but through her ineptitude and incompetence made it much worse and more complicated. And while she "brexited" herself into oblivion, the smouldering ruins of her failure endure and remain, with everyone else living out the potential consequences and outcomes.
It makes me sick to have to look at that wretched woman and the entire rogue parliament and house of Lords we must kick them out
Don't you think those words are a bit strong? You can tell with her emotion she loves this country.
@@antonydavid3885 . No, she loves herself, she loves her job and she loves playing the victim.
She was weak dealing with the EU which meant a bad deal for Britain and she was weak with remainer Tories like Rudd, Grieve, Hammond and many others that all got elected supporting a leave manifesto then did all they could to stop brexit. She should have slapped them down or kicked them out but she tried to keep them sweet by delivering a soft brexit.
ancietman She was very strong dealing with the Eu, no one else wanted to be the a hole
she's a remainer pretending to be a brexiteer, enough said !
then finally appoint a brexiteer as PM and see him fail and resign
@@arthurheidt6373 I find it hilarious that you remoaners are still bitter and twisted, what a state you get yourselves into, all negative and all defeatist, no confidence in this country and no confidence in yourselves, pretty sad , I feel sorry for you.
Please ask all Remainers to follow-up on their intuition and leave the UK for the ''union''
She had two strong hard brexiting secretaries who were supposed to go full guns blazing at the EU - Both come back with nothing - Instead they both quit the role along with May and Cameron as PM's - Do you genuinely think a hard brexiter PM will make a difference without a majority in the House of commons ?
@@barrieboy10 May was the one who set the terms of the UK's negotiators. By declaring her "red lines" she tied their hands together.
The British are intelligent people ; they should leave EU and be masters of their own destiiny
I laughed and laughed... good one!
I just love the way she bleats on about people compromising whilst sticking her fingers in her ears and saying "I'm not listening"
3 years and 2 PM's after the referendum the Conservatives are still working out what Brexit will mean. Probably should have worked that out before the referendum.
They went into the referendum hoping to Remain. So it would be business as usual. Once the leavers won it was like - now what?
It seemed very reactive.
She wanted to have her name in the history books as the one that took the UK out of the EU. If she had integrity she would have halted brexit three years ago pending assessments and feasibility studies. She shed no tears for those she damaged through jobs losses, austerity, Windrush, and over £4billion of hard earned taxpayers money wasted on brexit lunches, etc.
THIS: "She wanted to have her name in the history books" Yep.
Brexit happened. If it wasn't for the attention of brexit no one would pay attention to how good or bad she was doing, the UK would have sleep walked through another decade of tory austerity.
This is what happens if you care more about party than country
She had an impossible job to salvage something out of Brexit when parliament was intent on not reaching an agreement. She at least managed to delay driving her country off the cliff edge in the hope some sense may prevail which is about the best she could have accomplished.
“The end of May” well done 😏😉😃😂👏🏽
When she employed Olly Robbins above the Brexit secretary
Lol the end of May, Hallelujah and great title.
"Where did it all go wrong?" Here, there, and everywhere
I knew she had no desire to deal with Brexit with her adding things like bringing back fox hunting in the last election. I am neither for or against it personally, I don't like the idea of it, but I have seen first hand what foxes do to chicken farms and similar, but I know its a largely unpopular thing to try to push. I was initially under the impression that she thought she may have extreme confidence in winning and thought she could slip things like this in as election promises, but that was only a fleeting opinion, It soon became clear she wanted to lose so someone else would have to screw up Brexit or do it in a way she could still support her EU friends (and likely still get that EU free money like the likes of Blair and the Kinnocks).
Congratulations Agent May. Mission accomplished.
Sad when your career goes up in smoke, but she only had her self to blame
100% Clown, Complete Waster, Career What Fcuking Career.
She didn't quit. She was fired.
A lot of fine but unfortunately meaningless words packed with lies and total fiction. My goodness, the bell ringing was laughable to the extreme. Who does she think she's kidding 😂
what comes will be worst!
@@hpvspeedmachine4183
For a short period, yes. Then the Tories disappear up their own arses never to be seen again. Well, here's hoping 😀
Good Bye Theresa may. Your car shall be delayed as the driver is trying to save fuel costs.
😂😂😂 👍👍👍 Brilliant!
It all went wrong when she threw her principles to the wind.
PanglossDr- She never had any principles.
"And she looked at me in the eye and said Richard, Brexit means Brexit." The Maybot cannot differentiate between electorate and party staff.
WHERE DID I GO WRONG I LOST A FRIEND SOMEWHERE ALONG IN THE BITTERNESS
Where did it all go wrong for May? -That's hilarious, worst question ever, I can't stop laughing :D
May means May :-)
Greatest PM in history? Nope. Has she done anything of use ever as a politician? Serious question. Windrush and Grenfield are her legacies
With respect, the people demanf a fresh choice-a General election!
Singapore was kicked out of Malaysia in 1965; Today we are a rich nation; UK can do better than Singapore; Remember Singapore was once a British colony; Today we are independent and the richest in Asia
Unfortunately she was not up to the job, even more importantly she has left the country in a much worse state than when she took over, shame
In China they...
She fought and lost. She is stepping down and we are moving on. As it should be. Democracy. I did not like you but I thank you.
on with June
Isn't that a lectern not a podium?
People need to be reminded that David Cameron started this whole mess
1:24 LoL, it's Humphrey Appleby.
THANK GOD SHE IS GOING, GET NIGEL FARAGE FOR PM; HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT SPEAKS ANY SENSE
What is so surprising about a politician being a liar ,?
Resignation too late, the foolish woman! Wasted everyone's time!
"...the country I love..." phffft....nice way of showing it!
Actually started to cry....... And this was the person in charge of our country? What a fucking joke.
Q, Where did it all go wrong?
A, 1st day as PM
Becoming an MP started the ball rolling, then once she became Home Secretary and the Windrush affair was another, and finally Brexit. What more do you need to know? The woman is spineless, a liar, and one without honour. Even her resignation speech was me, me, me, crocodile tears and no reference to the hurt she caused people. She's in the same group as Blair, Brown, Major, and Cameron, despots all, and legal criminals. Oliver Cromwell, we need you.
She had her own aganda, qhi h went against the people's vote to leave the EU, Brexit was not delivered because she alone made sure it couldn't be. Even in her speech she was telling the next leader to compromise. She failed, so just go and don't give advice.
It's a lectern, not a podium. But never mind, May can stop embarrassing herself now.
Haha, it's lectern indeed.
I think it all went wrong when she was born.
Compromising is difficult but in many cases the feasible solution to go forward. May tried hard to convince her colleagues to do so. Unfortunately they turned her their back. Let's hope that they will not regret it later...
I don't know if I fully understand the situation, as I am from the United States, but I actually kind of feel bad for Theresa May. It seems like she was thrown into a position she was not ready for after David Cameron left. She had this massive ccommitment to fulfill and didnt really have time to focus on much other than Brexit. There seems to be a lot of hate for her in the comments, so I just wanted to ask if there is something I'm missing. Why is she so disliked? I'm not trying to take any sort of side, but just trying to understand the whole picture. Thanks in advance.
Whats she crying for 25 thousand people in hull have just list their jobs and vannot pay their morgages.
Legends has it that May has always resigned in May.
I would never trust channel 4. I'm here for comedy
I think she tried to please all sides, which was a huge mistake, meaning it became impossible (for her and her supporters) to deliver the Leave Vote. Kept changing her tune, very poor strategy. Very upsetting to see her become emotional, but my thoughts after watching this now many times, is that she became upset at losing her position, but not that she could be wrong in her outlook on Brexit. She seemed angry. Very sad day for our country because we remain in limbo.
NICE OLD PHOTOS of Theresa, I never gave it a thought that she was ever under 100.
Went wrong when father rode bareback 😀😀
*CONCEPT*
Let's make pingu da Government
finnaly took long enough
Actually, she had an impossible job.
She wants to negotiate a better deal for UK, but EU (the other party) is not willing - her hands are tied.
She got what she thinks is the best deal for UK, that the EU agreed to give, but the house of commons rejected it. The house of commons also tied her hands in a lot of things.
She is effectively powerless to drive the Brexit. And the house of Commons rejected a no deal. I do not see any other politicians being able to get a better deal. The end result defaults to no deal, which economists said will hurt the UK the most.
@Roch Roch I agree with you that not all economists think the same way. Just the better ones.
@Roch Roch en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_effects_of_Brexit "Quote: There is a broad consensus among economists and in the economic literature that Brexit will likely reduce the real per-capita income level in the UK." and Quote: "There is overwhelming or near-unanimous agreement among economists that leaving the European Union will adversely affect the British economy in the medium- and long-term"
Broad Consensus among economists = most of the economists.
Let's say for example, the concept of climate change. Most of the climate scientists agreed that climate change is real. There are also climate change deniers. Which one do you think are the better ones? The deniers or the climate scientists that proven that climate change is real?
Similarly, economists work with data, and they examined the data to assess the effect on the economy. When there is a broad or overwhelming consensus among economists that it is bad for UK, I would prefer to trust the opinions of the majority of the economists over a few outliners who says otherwise. I believe that the majority of the "good or better" economists would find that Brexit is bad for UK, just like the majority of the "good or better" climate change scientists would tell it as it is.
Unfortunately, we live in an imperfect world, and there are climate scientists who are paid or conduct flawed experiments to deny climate change, and economists who are paid or used flawed logic to say the Brexit is good for UK economy. Therefore, I agree with your assessment that NOT ALL economists said that Brexit will be bad for UK.
@Roch Roch I can't change your opinion, and you cannot change mine. Let's agree to disagree. Have a good day!
@Roch Roch Like I said, I disagree with your views. I think that for UK to prosper is what make UK strong. US is strong because it is an economic powerhouse. Secondly, being part of the EU gives UK many benefits. see smallbusinessprices.co.uk/remain-eu/
Let's agree to disagree and move on. Have a good day! I will ignore all your comments from now on.
It all went wrong when Cameron jumped ship and she took over, claiming to deliver on Brexit, then trying to fob us off with a half arsed deal that doesn't let us leave at all.
As Bob Dylan said, "people disagree on just about everything"
From the very beginning. She should not have become PM in the first place. She was despised by the police as Home Secretary. Some people can work but cannot lead!
It all was messed up from the beginning. She took a tainted job.
She was a weak woman. I don't feel sorry for the old bag. She should've just walked away on WTO
Could have redeemed herself and been a hero if she secured a no deal, what 17.5 million people voted for!
Take that eejit Karen Bradley with you, May.

She's the British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.
And she's absolutely clueless about all things Northern Irish.
Our history, current affairs, traditions, and anything else from here.
She's achieved literally NOTHING.
She's made any number of serious gaffes that should have resulted in her immediate sacking.
And she's currently shamelessly BLOCKING compensation payments to victims of historical sexual abuse.
Easily the most despised and hated person in Northern Ireland, from all sides, and that's saying something.
Ignorant, arrogant, and thoroughly disinterested in her office.
Theresa may: Brexit means brexit but you're not getting it
That's not a podium, it's a lectern.
Which part didn`t she get about what the party that appointed her wanted? Acquiescence, instead of dogged determination not to change her position would have prevented the tears.
2:06 Interviewer is Boris Johnson :D :D
Her task was impossible. The results of the referendum made it impossible for her to deliver the Brexit and maintain the unity of the united kingdom. She herself was a Brexit sceptic having campaigned at the time of the referendum for the Bremain. She could not accept that a certain number of people have changed their minds having voted for the Brexit and prefering now the Bremain after all, everything considered.
General Election lol. Politics is the best drama on TV. Hahaha 🍿
Not leaving in March with a NO DEAL that is where it went wrong.
She tried her best. Labour would not have done any better. Stop Brexit by any means necessary.
When the opposition makes a fluff piece for someone who is supposed to be their political enemy.
It all went wrong when she lied, saying Brexit Means Brexit!!!! History will judge her quite harshly and rightly so!!!
Thank god see ya
