WE'VE seen her try dancing, we've seen her try to do Brexit competently. We've even seen her struggle to describe something naughty she's done, and in the end decide that running through wheat fields as a child is worse than the likes of rolling out Universal Credit and leaving vulnerable people to starve.
Now, for some odd reason, Theresa May's advisers decided that allowing her to play pool on camera was the right thing to do.
It was bad enough watching the PM lining up the shot after being given a short tutorial by Italian premier Giuseppe Conte.

Worse still was May's actual attempt at taking a shot.

A tough watch, we know. Luckily Phantom Power were on hand to lift the mood with their interpretation of what happened next:

Excellent work...
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
