Former UK Prime Minister Theresa May her book, The Abuse of Power

Saturday Morning - A podcast by RNZ

Most remembered for her failure to secure a Brexit deal, Theresa May was British Prime Minister between 2016 and 2019 and the longest-serving Home Secretary in over a century. A Remainer herself, her job as PM was to work out how the UK should honour the country's 2016 Brexit referendum. May's book The Abuse of Power: Confronting Injustice in Public Life argues for a radical rethink of politics and public life. From the Hillsborough to Grenfell Tower tragedies, The Abuse of Power exposes powerful people serving themselves or protecting their organisation, rather than serving the interests of the powerless.
