Conservative cabinet member Nadhim Zahawi and failed Conservative parliamentary candidate and businessman Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones were predictably positive.
Actor Brian Cox, star of the RSC and NT, as well as many films and the award-winning TV series Succession, had a different view.
“There is no human being alive that can say actually say they’ve never made a mistake”
“We’re not at a time where we can afford these kinds of mistakes”

We’re not at a time when we can afford these kind of mistakes. We’re in a very crucial position.

It wasn’t the only thing he had to say about the prime minister. Watch the audience nod along to this condemnation.
“I just do not think she is the right person for the job. And I also don’t trust her… so, I ain’t a fan”
