Inevitably, people are comparing Theresa May to Margaret Thatcher
Theresa May made a strong impression during her first PMQs as prime minister and, as was bound to happen, people started comparing her to Britain's only other woman prime minister: Margaret Thatcher.
In responding to embattled Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, who is entangled in an internal struggle to hold onto his leadership of the Labour party, she said:
"I am interested that he refers to the situation of some workers who might have some job insecurity and potentially unscrupulous bosses. I suspect that there are many members on the Opposition benches who might be familiar with an unscrupulous boss. A boss who doesn't listen to his workers. A boss who requires some of his workers to double their workload. Maybe even a boss who exploits the rules to further his own career. Remind him of anybody?"
