• Theresa May gave a major speech on housing today in front of a fake brick wall  
• Was mocked by viewers who compared her to famous scenes involving walls 
• The PM has previously faced criticism for having boring backdrops to speeches

Theresa May was today mocked for giving a major speech in front of a brick wall – with Twitter users comparing her to a chimney sweep and Bob the Builder.

The Prime Minister outlined her plans to push through a building revolution in front of a fake brick wall.

But Twitter users swooped upon the unusual backdrop and posted a series of hilarious memes mocking the choice.

Many viewers of the speech pointed out she looked like a chimney sweep – prompting one journalist to mock her up in a black flat cap and holding a broom.

Another Twitter user, Chris Mandle, posted a picture of Mrs May next to a Thomas the Tank Engine train stuck behind a brick wall.

Samuel Jenkinson took aim at the PM’s well-known love of shoes and posted a picture of a brick house built built in the shape of a shoe.

While Ben Skipper pointed out that the Prime Minister looked like the old Windows 1995 screen saver. 

And another Twitter user, using the name MLAs and the like, posted a picture of the PM with the caption ‘Bricksit means Bricksit, apparently’ – a take on Mrs May’s old catchphrase ‘Brexit means Brexit’. 

The hilarious posts were put online as Mrs May called for Britain to unite behind a drive to build new houses. 

The Prime Minister rejected the idea that tackling the housing crisis meant concreting over the Green Belt.

And she admitted young people were ‘right to be angry’ about their inability to get on the property ladder.

The gentle joshing comes after Theresa May (pictured today)  has faced criticism for opting for a boring choice in backdrop to her major speeches.  Last year she travelled to Florence in Italy – known around the world for its renaissance art and architecture – only to deliver a speech in front of a white cardboard backdrop And another Twitter user posted a picture of the PM with the caption ‘Bricksit means Bricksit, apparently’ – a take on Mrs May’s old catchphrase ‘Brexit means Brexit’

In a package of measures aimed at restore the dwindling dream of home ownership, Mrs May confirmed plans to create up to five new ‘garden towns’.

And she vowed to crackdown on blocks to construction, such as developers ‘sitting on’ land and waiting for its value to rise.

The proposals came in an open pitch by Mrs May to woo millennials, who turned against the Tories at the last election and instead flocked to Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party.

Many Conservatives have called for the Government to be more radical on house building in a bid to win back these younger voters.
