Those close to the former PM said she wanted more freedom to carry out her campaign work outside the confines of being a constituency MP
One former Cabinet Minster who served during Mrs May’s premiership told i Theresa May was not hiding her motive for stepping down gives her more freedom to campaign on issues she cares about and is not a sign she no longer has faith in her party, friends of the former PM have said.was a sign of a lack of confidence in the partyAnd they dismissed any suggestion that she was quitting due to a lack of faith in the Conservative Party or because she was at risk of losing the seat.
“She takes the constituency stuff really seriously – it is a safe seat but she never really treated it like one. But the modern slavery work involves a certain amount of travel and away from the constituency, and I think she has found the balance of that shifting just a little bit.” “With really personal decisions she takes them oftentimes in very small circles and often principally with Philip. I suspect this is one of those because it’s so fundamental,” they said.
One said it would “make sense” for “someone like her, a PM who has dedicated a life to public service” a peerage – but they were quick to add that they did not know if that was part of the plan. But her resignation adds to the concerns of some that the party is haemorrhaging its more moderate members – and potentially leaving it unbalanced towards the right after the election.
Others, however, pointed to the fact that many of the seats predicted to be lost by the Conservatives were those in the “Red Wall” – represented by the more right wing post-Brexit intake of MPs.
