Theresa May said she’d be an LGBT ally for life – so guess how she voted on same sex marriage in N Ireland?
Say what you like about Theresa May – please – but she was keen before she left Downing Street for the last time to big up her LGBT credentials during Pride.
So naturally she went on Twitter and did this.

Best part of 48 hours – 48 hours! – later there was a vote in the House of Commons on same sex marriage in Northern Ireland.
So we can assume how May voted on this important LGBT issue, right?
Er …
Theresa May did not take part in the vote on same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland

Just one more thing to add to the pile, ‘things we won’t miss about Theresa May’.
