Outgoing UK Prime Minister Theresa May delivered her last ‘Question Time’ to Parliament yesterday. It was a record-breaking 63 minutes long, and touched on several subjects including May’s multiple failed attempts to have Parliament approve a deal on Brexit. May also faced several heated questions about her successor, Boris Johnson, and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn pressed her on declines in the quality of life for several sections of the British population including the higher use of food banks and a decrease in police numbers under her tenure.
