If you thought Wednesday had got about as bad as it could get for Theresa May with the P45, the cough and the disappearing letters, you were wrong.

As Sky News spotted and Twitter user Dev Raval pointed out May’s speech appears to have nicked – almost word for word – lines spoken by Martin Sheen’s presidential character in The West Wing.

It’s a thing of beauty. Enjoy:

The SKWAWKBOX pointed out the other day that the media appear to have hidden Corbyn’s post-conference polling ‘bounce’ in the hope of presenting the Tories’ expected bounce as a come-back.

But while that was probably their plan, if the Tories get a bounce after a conference that gives car-crashes a bad name then it’s proof positive that there’s something skewed about the polls we’re presented.
