In conversation with the Rt Hon Theresa May

Prime minister for three years and home secretary for six years, Theresa May has been at the heart of decision making for almost a decade, confronting a series of issues in which the abuse of power led to devastating results.
The effects were felt by individuals and unfortunate victims, and significantly damaged the reputation of, and trust in, public institutions and politicians. From the Hillsborough and Grenfell tragedies, to the Daniel Morgan case and parliamentary scandals, the powerful repeatedly chose to use their power not in the interests of the powerless but to serve themselves or to protect the organization to which they belonged.
Drawing on examples from domestic and international affairs she was personally involved in at the highest level, including Stop and Search and the Salisbury Poisonings, the former prime minister argues for a radical rethink in how we approach our politics and public life. Mrs May will be discussing how governments lost and how they can rebuild that trust with the public, and how democracy can be saved.
