Theresa May attempts Scottish accent in House of Lords maiden speech

Theresa May tried her hand at a Scottish accent as she mimicked a Tory colleague during jovial remarks in her House of Lords debut.

Making her maiden speech in the upper chamber, the Tory former prime minister, dressed in a bright red suit, statement necklace and trademark heels, jokingly recalled how her “mentor” Baroness Goldie had given her a gift ahead of her introduction to the red benches last month.

There was laughter as Baroness May of Maidenhead impersonated the accent of the former leader of the Scottish Conservatives to reveal the “present” was in fact a copy of the Lords rulebook for her to read during the conference recess.

It is not the first time that Lady May, who was previously dubbed the “the Maybot” for her sometimes awkward manner, has shown her humorous streak.

She previously sashayed onto the stage at the 2018 party conference to the music of Abba’s Dancing Queen while, as prime minister, she mocked George Osborne when she accepted an award from the former chancellor dressed in his trademark hard hat and hi-viz jacket.
