Ex-UK leader Theresa May opts for cricket over Johnson’s maiden speech
The HinduFormer British prime minister Theresa May skipped seeing her successor fire up Conservative MPs on Thursday and instead spent her first day out of office enjoying one of her favourite pastimes: cricket. May, who remains a Conservative MP, was spotted at Lord’s cricket ground watching England take on Ireland -- just as Boris Johnson was making his maiden address in parliament as the new prime minister. LIVE | England vs Ireland - One-off Test, Day 2 Britain’s second female leader, labelled the “zombie prime minister” by one columnist for her ability to stagger on despite multiple attacks, had appeared visibly drained in recent months by her fraught time in Downing Street. A self-professed cricket lover, she attended England’s dramatic World Cup final victory earlier this month and hosted the victorious men’s team at a Downing Street reception.
