Theresa May Wanted Respect, She Got Pity, Says Nick Ferrari

The Prime Minister's speech at the Conservative Party Conference was marred by her failing voice, an interruption by a prankster and the set falling apart.

Former Cabinet Minister Sir Eric Pickles spoke to LBC to defend Mrs May, but Nick wasn't having any of it.

Sir Eric said: "I thought she did remarkably well to battle through. Most people would have stopped."

When Nick suggested all Mrs May ended up with was sympathy and pity, Sir Eric insisted: "She got love and support..."

But Nick hit back: "That sounds like an elderly relative. That's like someone you put a blanket around.

"Come on, she's meant to lead a country."
