Mrs May only answered 27% of the questions put to her, during the press interviews analysed
Theresa May has proved more evasive in her responses to questions than any of her last three Tory predecessors in No 10, researchers have claimed.
Academics at the University of York have been studying the way Mrs May dealt with broadcast interviews and compared it with the responses of David Cameron, John Major and Margaret Thatcher.
They found that in the course of two interviews after she became Prime Minister in 2016 and four during the course of the 2017 general election, Mrs May only answered 27% of the questions put to her.
In contrast, Mr Cameron answered 34% of questions in the 2015 general election, while both Mr Major (now Sir John) in the 1992 election and Margaret Thatcher in 1987 answered 39% of questions they were asked.
