If you're a politician and you decide to engage in some spontaneous dancing at a public event, you'd better believe it's going to become a meme.

The latest example of this comes courtesy of the UK's Prime Minister Theresa May. On Wednesday, she made her grand entrance to the Conservative Party conference dancing to ABBA's "Dancing Queen".

Flash-forward to a day later, and there's already been a Twitter account set up titled "Theresa May Dancing to Stuff".

At this stage, the clip has already entered the meme hall of fame.

In case you'd forgotten, this isn't even the first time something like this has happened.
