During Wednesday’s weekly session in the House of Commons, May became visibly irritated by Corbyn’s line of questioning, which focused on the damage a no-deal Brexit would do to the UK’s economy and workforce. The Tory PM, who has days left in office, accused Corbyn of voting for a no-deal, after telling his Labour MPs to reject her deal three times.

The problem was that May’s intended follow-up put-down phrase: “all mouth and no trousers,” came out embarrassingly wrong, and ended up giving the Labour leader an unintended compliment.

Absolutely typical of the right honorable gentleman, all mouth and trousers!
