About this listen
Former Prime Minister Theresa May exposes the abuse of power by public institutions and politicians in a series of riveting first-hand accounts from her time in office.
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. 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 organisation to which they belonged.
The Abuse of Power is a searing exposé of injustice and an impassioned call to exercise power for the greater good. 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.

Another abuse of power.

I think it was truly a tragedy for the country that her negotiations regarding Brexit were not accepted and do agree that the country lost to others persuing more personal and extreme views.
Theresa May acknowledges that as the daughter of a vicar she learned to modify her behaviour in respect of her position, sadly I fear that this led to her non development of an inspiring and more charismatic side that also seems essential to good leadership. Values trumped fun so by the end of the book I was more bored than inspired, which is sad because the intentions were good, very good.
