      The circumstances under which she became Prime Minister; and, the gutter sniping by the Johnsons, Rees-Moggs and Bravermans of the House made her tenure near impossible. I think had she become prime minister at a different time, she would have performed better (and viewed differently). Disagree with her policies, but she was a dedicated public servant; and, those who have followed her have been woefully inadequate.

    I'm about as anti Tory as you can get, but I've always kind of liked Teresa May. I might not always have agreed with her politics but I always thought she was genuine, a hard worker and someone who didn't like playing silly party political games and instead would co operate with other people to get things done. Not the greatest leader, but she seem to me to be more of a second in command type a bit like Gordon Brown. Willing to do the hard work, but not the most skilled at bringing people together under their banner for a common goal. As much as I want a complete wipe-out of the conservative party I think I'll miss her being around. At least a little bit.

She probably wasn’t acting as she would have wanted but just doing what she was told - less freedom but for more money and more responsibilities. Get the impression the home secretary and prime minister days weren’t her favourite of all her years in service. Sometimes people do those jobs “for the good of the party” rather than it being something they chose for themselves. And her words about selflessness indicates that may have been the case for her. Also you can tell what she thinks of Rishi Sunak!!

Don't forget that Johnson ran to be leader at the same time as May, but was stabbed in the back by Gove, leading to them both being in her cabinet.
      May, however, was in the running for the job even before the referendum. Cameron never intended to lead the next general election campaign, which would have been 2020 if we'd actually had a full five years.

    I may get some flack for this but I would sincerely say Theresa May is the last great Tory of history: it is hard to deny she is a genuine, sincere, good hearted person who truly cares for the country and the people of Britain, even if you don't agree with her ideologically. It is almost surreal watching her speak in the Commons on the Tory bench, as if she's from an entirely different era of British political history - and really, that is because she is, up there with the likes of John Major as a Tory politician with dignity and integrity, who transcends and humbly defies the typical self-motivated career politicians we have all grown to become so accustomed to. She should be proud and pat herself on the back as the only MP in the Conservative Party who stands out as a politician of decency and virtue. I'll miss her.

      So interested in the interests of the people that she pushed Brexit through.
      People keep talking about her belief in doing the right thing. The issue is that she didn't believe anything. Remember that point when she publicly reached out for ideas from the Labour party, to which they offered her the manifesto?
      Unfortunately she is one of these careerists who she speaks of. She didn't really want to do anything. She didn't really know what would be good for the country. She just blindly accepted that since a project had started she must deliver it, not really appreciating the impossible nature of that task.
      If she was really what she believed she was, she could have made this into a pivotal moment for Tories, where they might have had a chance at a unifying theme, even at the cost of losing some of her MPs. Her incompetence has sorted of created it anyway, because Johnson weaponised that moment against it.

    A sample of politicians of both sides are career minded. But it’s also our fault because, for some reason, we keep voting for them.

    Democracy demands accountability, which is very much undermined and suppressed by Parliament.
    The House stated that, and I quite, "there is no mechanism within parliament to uphold the code of conduct for MP's".
    Therefore democracy for us voters is only for 1 day every 5 years, for the rest, MP's can deceive us, prevent us access to protection , and without doubt can act without integrity or probity, go figure why MP's lie to us.

    Looks like a lot of kids are still bunking off the last week of term. Not surprising. The Commons has an attendance record that would have any inner city comprehensive on special measures for eternity. That little rant aside, I can't disagree with any of the words coming out of May's mouth, I simply find it ironic they are coming from someone who thought it OK to strike grubby deals with the DUP for the sake of her career. It's as if these people understand the problem but not that they are a massive part of it.

    I‘ve never been a Conservative and probably never will be, but I can agree with Theresa May on what she said in her last speech in the Commons. It is a huge privilege to represent your people and to serve your country as an MP. And we must do everything we can to defend our demoratic values!

      It’s possible to make a career out of being a politician whilst being a diligent servant of the public, is it not?

      @@beardysam2052 she was in a safe seat where even in 2001, she won by over 3,000 votes. With the Tories in power, it went as high as a 29k majority in 2015. There was little chance she was ever going to get kicked out... until now.
