Theresa May | The Abuse of Power

Thu 16 Nov 2023 | 6:00pm - 7:00pm

As standards in political life plummet, the former Prime Minister discusses her searing exposé of injustice and an impassioned call to exercise power for the greater good.

As Prime Minister for three years and Home Secretary for six years, Theresa May confronted a series of issues in which the abuse of power led to devastating results for individuals and significantly damaged the reputation of, and trust in, public institutions and politicians.

In conversation with Simon Woolley, Lord Woolley of Woodford and Principal of Homerton College.
