Theresa May

Former, British Prime Minister

Theresa May served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2016 to 2019 – the second woman ever to hold the office. Her premiership marked the culmination of 21 years’ continuous service on the front bench, having held a total of 14 ministerial or shadow ministerial posts, serving as the first female Chairman of the Conservative Party and the longest-serving Conservative Home Secretary for over a century.

Theresa stood down as a Member of Parliament in 2024 after 27 years of service to her Maidenhead constituents. She was appointed to the House of Lords later the same year. In addition to her contributions in the House of Lords, she continues to undertake philanthropic and campaigning work around the world.
