Neville, 43 — who lasted just four months as Valencia boss and was Roy Hodgson’s assistant when England crashed out of Euro 2016 — was invited to talk about his businesses post-football.
But he launched into a tirade against Mrs May, using the jargon of key performance indicators (KPIs) to put the boot in.

“She has to make sure everyone has a wonderful education, everyone has fantastic access to health service, everybody has fantastic transport and we’re safe as a country.
