A prankster and comedian has humiliated British Prime Minister Theresa May, offering her a resignation form as she took the podium to deliver a speech at an annual party conference.
Lee Nelson, in an apparent security breach, rose up to the Conservative Party leader to hand her a P45, the tax form issued by an employer when an employee leaves.
Nelson joked that the form was from Boris Johnson, the British foreign secretary who has previously made a bid to lead the UK.
May was further embarrassed as an “f” dropped off the word “for” from a sign behind her which had read: “Building a country that works for everyone”.
The four-day Conservative Party conference in the northern city of Manchester is expected to end today.
Britain’s exit from the EU, or Brexit, and the economy were among the subjects discussed.
The event comes amid uncertainty over the Brexit deal, with Britons’ fearing an agreement to quit the bloc could leave the country worse off financially.
Nelson is known for showering the former FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, in fake money.
Blatter was at the time accused of corruption. – Al Jazeera.
