- I always said, when I was home secretary
and then prime minister,
one of the things I had to do was
to learn about the things that I had to forget.
Because, as a leader
very often there are things
you just
cannot talk to somebody else about.
I think you can never 100% relax
because you never quite know when there's gonna be a phone
call that you've got to respond to.
Virtually every day brings tough moments.
- Theresa Mary May has been duly elected to serve
as a member for the said constituency.
- Theresa May has served her country
almost all of her life.
- You voting Conservative in the election?
- Conservative?
- No - No?
Today she's in the House of Lords
and she's co-president of Chatham House,
a century old London-based think tank that seeks
to help governments and societies.
- Her Majesty
the Queen has asked me
to form a new government, and I accepted.
- From 2016 to 2019, she was prime minister
and the leader of the Conservative Party.
She served as home secretary for six years,
the longest term in that role since 1951,
a member of Parliament for Maidenhead
since the late 1990s,
a local borough counselor before that,
and she started her career working
at the Bank of England.
- I first thought about becoming an MP
from about the age of 12, 12 or 13.
- Why?
- It's about making a difference.
That was the thing that I could do
that would make a difference to people's lives,
improve people's lives.
- Do you remember the day where you say, right, I'm,
I'm putting my hat in the ring.
- I was a local counselor in one of the London boroughs,
and, like many women, I actually sort of
waited for somebody
to tap me on the shoulder
and say, have you thought about this?
- Why? Why do you say like many women?
- Well, I think it's one of the differences, certainly
of my generation, probably still to a certain extent, is
that men will often sort of map out, right, I'm going
to be prime minister by the age of 25, whatever,
and here's back of the envelope
here, here's how I'm going to do it.
Whereas women tend to think, have I got the skills?
Am I able to do it?
And wait for somebody to say to them, I think you could.
- The Labour Party may be about to spend several months
of fighting and tearing itself apart.
The Conservative Party will be spending those months
bringing this country back together.
- I had approached
my time in Parliament in a different way.
I wasn't one of those who joined dining clubs
or had a gang around me or kept going into the bars
and was drinking and so forth.
I, I thought I was there to do a job.
Some would say, you know, oh, nonsense, you've got to be,
you know, making friendships here, there and everywhere.
But actually, I think it's important
that everybody recognizes with clarity
that being a member of Parliament is a job.
It's a, it's a huge privilege.
You get there because the public has voted for you.
You are there to work for them.
- Would you describe yourself as an introvert?
- I think some might describe me as an introvert.
I don't think about describing myself as one thing or
or another, but I do think that I'm somebody who is,
can be comfortable in their own skin
and comfortable on their own, if you like.
Between becoming an MP
and becoming home secretary, I'd spent
13 years in opposition
and 11 of those in the Shadow Cabinet.
And then in 2010 when
the Conservative Party didn't win an overall majority,
we went into a coalition with the Liberal Democrats,
David Cameron, the Prime Minister asked me
to become home secretary.
So I had a steep learning curve.
- Home secretary is one
of the most senior positions in the UK government,
and it involves overseeing national security, immigration
counterterrorism and policing
- And then the briefings pile up
- And you go to the Home Office
and the briefings are there.
And, and what was most daunting
out of those briefings?
- I think, well, the aspect that I hadn't had any real
