The Prime Minister revealed her ”dream dinner party" guest list and Labour's Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner said that she was not surprised she did not feature on it.

Other guests of the fantasy dinner were aviation pioneer Lettice Curtis, Victorian explorer Edward Whymper, travel writer Wilfred Thesiger, painter Stanley Spencer and garden designer Gertrude Jekyll.

The poll also found that 19 per cent would rather go with Jeremy Corbyn and 11 per cent with Nicola Sturgeon.
