Theresa May suffers ‘blue screen of death’ during Prime Minister’s Questions

Poke Staff. Updated February 21st, 2017

The Prime Minister suffered a major technical glitch during Prime Minister’s Questions today, when a question about Brexit caused a critical failure in her operating system.

May started experiencing problems during a question about the exact details of how the UK will leave the European Union, when she repeated the word “Brexit” over twenty times before displaying the infamous ‘blue screen of death’ familiar to many Windows users.

Panicked front bench ministers quickly came to her aid, with Defence Secretary Michael Fallon suggesting she should be turned off and back on again and Home Secretary Amber Rudd frantically looking up solutions on Wikihow.

Brexit minister David Davis was finally able to press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and restart the PM, although it took a further five minutes for the Prime Minister to successfully reboot – during which time Jeremy Corbyn sat around idly flicking through a Screwfix Direct catalogue while sipping from a flask of warm Vimto he had brought with him.
