Prime Ministerial, from the New Statesman | Theresa May
Listen now
Description
Welcome to Prime Ministerial. Each episode Jonn Elledge and Stephen Bush will look at the legacy of the previous six prime ministers and ask whether they achieved success on their own terms.
Episode one focuses on Theresa May. May took office in the aftermath of the vote to leave the EU, she promised to unite the country – but her premiership ended in humiliation after just three years in the wake of losing her majority and failing to get a withdrawal agreement through parliament.
Stephen and Jonn speak to the journalist Katy Balls, and Gavin Barwell, Theresa May’s former chief of staff.
Produced by Adrian Bradley and May Robson, with thinks to Caroline Crampton and Nick Hilton.
