Putting the conserve into Conservative: Theresa May says jam is 'perfectly edible' with mould on the top

1 min read

She's spent the last few months trying to convince her party to swallow her Brexit deal.


Now Theresa May has revealed her top tip for making the seemingly-unpalatable delicious again: just scrape the mould off.

According to the Mail, the Prime Minister told her Cabinet on Tuesday that jam is still "perfectly edible" once you've removed the troublesome fungus.

The bizarre exchange came as top ministers tucked into a Cabinet chat about slashing food waste.

Mrs May also reportedly advised shoppers against hastily hurling their produce in the bin after its sell-by date passes, instead imploring them to use "common sense".

It is not yet known whether Jeremy Corbyn - a keen jam-maker in his spare time - shares the PM's views on mould-scraping.

But they don't call her leader of the conserve-atives for nothing (we'll see ourselves out)...
