Theresa May insists she has no regrets over her time as PM – despite failing to deliver Brexit
THERESA May has insisted she has no regrets over her time in No10 - despite failing to deliver Brexit three times and leaving the country in chaos.
Speaking for the first time since she stepped down as PM in July, the Maidenhead MP said yesterday she only wished her parents, who died when she was in her 20s, could have lived to see her get the top job.
Asked about whether she had regrets of her time in office, Mrs May, 62, told an audience at the Henley Literature Festival: "No I don't think so. I have had a fantastic time."
And she added: "They didn't even live to see me become a local councillor, let alone being PM. I hope they would have been proud."
The former premier also admitted she wouldn't be reading her predecessor David Cameron's book, revealing: "I genuinely don't read political books."
The ex-PM revealed that she was thinking of writing a memoir of her own but she wasn't "rushing" to do so.
She told the audience she was a Harry Potter fan and her favourite villains were Lord Voldemort, and Professor Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes.
"They are proper villains," she added.
"I think it's good when you have a villain who you know is a villain."
