Philip May and Theresa May in “Unfinished Business”

Philip May

What are you up to, old thing?

Theresa May

I'm looking for cameras. Do you ever get the feeling that people are watching us?

Philip May

Right now? I don't think so. Well, the Russians probably are. And the CIA, I imagine. And MI6 won't want to feel left out, but other than that, no. What's brought all this on?

Theresa May

Well, I was flying back from the G7 and I decided to relax.

Philip May

Oh, good, did you?

Theresa May

No, but I decided to, and that's a start. So I thought, "I'll watch a film. "Well, I couldn't watch Paddington because it's about an illegal immigrant with no skills. And I couldn't watch The Shape Of Water because Arlene Foster wouldn't approve of sexual relations with fish men.

Philip May

Especially outside marriage.

Theresa May

So I watched a film called The Truman Show.

Philip May

Oh, I see where this is going.

Theresa May

Hear me out, Philip. Because it all adds up. Ever since I became Prime Minister, things have been utterly bizarre. It's all too bad to be true. I held an election against a man who was supposed to be unelectable. I didn't win, but I had to carry on regardless. Anyone in the Cabinet who likes me has to resign and I'm forced to promote rejects from the bin of Dr Frankenstein. But And just when I'm taking the country out of Europe and we need allies, the US elects a shouting Scotch egg. And he's in peace negotiations with North Korea, but on the brink of war with Canada. Canada! And I have to rely on the DUP, who don't like gay people, but the Scottish Conservatives are led by a pregnant lesbian. None of it adds up.

Philip May

Yes, but, darling, you did win on the Brexit Amendment.

Theresa May

That's because they have to keep me on the show. It's all designed to torment me. I'm trapped inside The Theresa Show. And the audience is voting for what humiliation I suffer next.
