well from Glasgow, we goto maidenhead and be joined by the former Prime Minister Theresa May.

Just check is I know we've had some sound problems.

When you called a general election two years ago, you lost your majority for us.

Johnson has called an election and achieved a quite substantial majority.

What has he done right that you did wrong?

Well, I'm very pleased at the majority that the Boris has achieved, because this does the essential thing, which I think for many people lead how they voted at this election, which is enabling us to have a parliament that is going toe have, with a majority government the ability to take decisions and, crucially, the ability to get the blacks Brexit legislation through.

So we can get Brexit sorted, get it done and move the country on, and then focus on those many other priorities that people wanted government to focus on on a day to day basis.

But my question was, why did you lose your majority?

Well, Andrew, I thought I'd sort of giving you the answer in what I've just said.

which is that actually, at this election, I think people were faced with a very clear choice about whether or not they wanted to ensure that Brexit was delivered on.

They knew that if a conservative majority government got in that we would deliver Brexit every conservative candidate signed up to support the deal on to get that legislation through that Brexit through by the 31st of January.

That was a very clear choice for a lot of people.

This'll election was about ensuring that we could get over this deadlock in Parliament on good, actually get Brexit done and move on.

Is it realistic in your view that Mr Johnson can negotiate a comprehensive free trade deal with EU in 11 months?

Yes, because actually, an awful lot of work on that has already been done.

It was done in the original set of negotiations.

It's in the political declaration that sits alongside the withdrawal agreement that will form obviously the core of the withdrawal agreement Bill that will be before Parliament s o.

A lot of work has already be done with the with on both sides to ensure that we can now deliver on that future relationship in the negotiation on the future relationship.

Yes, it is possible the Scottish National Party of the other big victors tonight they have swept Scotland on a manifesto calling for a second Scottish referendum.

I would you advise the privatised toe handle that well, I think it's It's very simple.

I would advise him to continue taking the position that he has done, which was the position that I took, which is that the Scottish National Party themselves said in 2014 that that referendum about Scottish independence was a once in a generation, indeed, a once in a lifetime referendum on, therefore they should accept that result Onda.

Of course, we all know that it is in Scotland's economic interests for them to be part of the United Kingdom.

But in that Scottish referendum in 2014 people like you also told the Scots that the surest way of staying inside the European Union was to remain in the United Kingdom.

I didn't quite work out that way, another voting for a party that wants a second referendum because there's a material change.

Scotland did not vote to leave the EU so why should you deny them a second referendum?

But independence for Scotland would not mean them being staying in the European Union.

It was made very clear at the time of the independence referendum that if Scotland became independent, they would not be a member of the European Union.

I mean, the cut, the cunt, Scott learning that are now deeply provided.

You cannot have a constitutional standoff.

You know I for as Prime Minister I have spent quite a time in the House of Commons being questioned by the SNP on.

They had one issue only, and it was about independence.

Actually, if you look at what has happened in Scotland, where they are in government, their education system has deteriorated under the SNP in government.

They have problems with their national health service.

Actually, I think it's time the SNP focused on the day to day issues on the job of governing in Scotland and stopped simply putting this single issue of independence forward.

Okay, well, they still swept Scotland tonight, but we'll leave it there.

Theresa may Thank you for joining us from Maidenhead in your consistence is there.

 Theresa May was returned with a reduced majority in Maidenhead.
