SNL mocks Brexit failures with sketch depicting Theresa May kissing Winston Churchill
Soundtracked by Sara Bareilles, the episode’s musical guest, the sketch sees Kate McKinnon’s May dance to ‘She Used To Be Mine’

Saturday Night Live lampooned Theresa May’s Brexit woes in a dream sequence sketch, in which she kissed Winston Churchill and had her deal accepted by Parliament.
Soundtracked by Sara Bareilles, the episode’s musical guest, the sketch sees Kate McKinnon‘s May dance to “She Used To Be Mine”, from the Broadway musical Waitress.
It also sees her walk through the streets of London, receiving only scorn and anger from the British public, as she gets splashed by water after a taxi cab drives into a puddle and a bird defecates on her fish and chips.
When she Googles “Theresa May fans”, it comes up with “0 results”.
As she passes by a portrait of Churchill in a shop window, she then imagines the pair in a passionate dance (with host Kit Harington playing the role). The moment ends in a kiss.
May then imagines herself walking into parliament, where opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn declares that her Brexit deal has passed.
She wakes up moments later, as the TV plays footage of a news reporter declaring she is “simply not in control of this process”.
