The Prime Minister becomes emotional when people raise the issue of what her next move will be, according to former aides who spoke to The Times. While one ex-adviser said Mrs May “wells up” when the subject is brought up, another said: “She doesn’t like to think about what comes next.” This week it emerged Mrs May intends to remain as MP for Maidenhead after a new prime minister is in place, expected to be before the end of July.
One former aide said they see Mrs May “going into charity work, perhaps something to do with social mobility or modern slavery” when her days in politics are over.
During her term as Home Secretary from 2010 to 2016, she introduced the Modern Slavery Bill.
The legislation included tougher sentences and more help for people forced into sex work, labouring and other coercive tasks.
