Revealed: What Theresa May talked about most in PMQs

Sky News has analysed every one of Theresa May's PMQs, and Brexit is by no means the only topic she was challenged on.

Theresa May will be best remembered for how she handled Brexit negotiations during a tricky three years in office, but her PMQs show it was by no means the only challenge she faced.

Sky News has analysed the text of the weekly sessions from September 2016 until July 2019, and leaving the EU has certainly been the focus.

However, one of the big domestic issues of her time as prime minister has been a rise in violent crime, notably in London.

She talked about crime around 740 times over the course of nearly three years, but Extinction Rebellion will no doubt be concerned to hear that the climate only came up 107 times.

Mrs May also took plenty of questions on health, spanning social care and mental health, as well as trade, schools, universal credit and more - as you can see from the chart below.

The outgoing prime minister said "NHS" at least 432 times during her PMQs, and "schools" on at least 481 occasions.

There were also 430 mentions of "future" as Mrs May sought to ensure a legacy for herself, although no doubt the word was often directly followed by "trading relationship".

More on Theresa May

Of course questions about Brexit, trade agreements and negotiations with the EU have been present throughout her time in Number 10 - and they intensified in the final months of her administration.

The chart below shows Mrs May was inundated with questions about how Britain was going to leave the bloc at the end of last year and start of this, as she repeatedly tried and failed to force her deal through parliament.

As for regions, she made more references to Scotland or the Scottish government than Northern Ireland or Wales.

Ian Blackford, the SNP leader in Westminster, was a tough critic of Mrs May and their regular sparring over Brexit and the issue of another Scottish independence referendum was probably a reason for that imbalance.

Mrs May talked more about the foreign secretary by his job title than any other member of her cabinet, notably around the time of the Salisbury poisonings in March 2018, but surprisingly there was not much of a spike when Boris Johnson quit the job later that summer.

No doubt keen for some political point-scoring, Mrs May mentioned the last Labour government around 30 times more than she talked about her own Conservative administration.

But what about the key word of her premiership?

Sky News found Mrs May referred to Brexit more than 580 times across PMQs, although - despite it being something of a catchphrase outside the Commons - she only told MPs "Brexit means Brexit" on three occasions.

And though he may be the leader of the free world, and the man being relied upon to maintain the "special relationship" once Britain leaves the EU, the name Donald Trump featured just 28 times in the 95 sessions.
