The outgoing prime minister also insisted her attacks on"populist movements" were not about US President Donald Trump or Boris Johnson, the favourite to replace her next Wednesday.The special relationship with the US will"remain", Mrs May added,"regardless" of who its president is.
She hit out at a"coarsening" of public debate more broadly, especially online, where people"express their anger and anxiety without filter or accountability", which has turned debate into"tribal bitterness"."Words have consequences - and ill words that go unchallenged are the first step on a continuum towards ill deeds - towards a much darker place where hatred and prejudice drive not only what people say but also what they do," Mrs May said.
The Tory leadership race will close on Monday 22 July, with the winner - Mr Johnson or Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt - announced the following day. Mrs May will then take her last questions as prime minister in the Commons on Wednesday, before heading to Buckingham Palace to resign.More stories
Blimey took her long enough to realise that
I’d be worried too
S.T.F.U May. You are the creator & cause of many issues in our politics
Too many career politicians, sound familiar .......
Words absolutely fail when it comes to attempting to describe what a loathsome delusional lying fraud this woman is. She represents the very worst in public life. Leaves a legacy of incompetence and deceit.
UK is taken over by Muslims.....soon you will see a Muslim PM
Agreed we have much to worry about
Pot kettle black!
So why did you leave it in such a F mess
Deluded old bint......
Yeh and she’s caused it !
Self assessment of how she's performed in office!
We are worried about the intellect of the politicians
A little bit late for crocodile tears. This woman is completely incapable of empathy and worries for no one but herself.
Well, when democracy is ignored...
I take it she was talking about herself when she said 'worried about the state of politics' after all it has been mostly her fault that we are in the state we are in! Typical politician, it's not my fault, it's your fault, attitude
she caused a lot of the issue by. or delivering what she promised. She broke most of her promises whilst in office.
NOW she’s worried? She should have revoked article 50 when it became clear to her that the public had been lied to in order to get a leave vote.
You and your Tory party have contributed to this sad state of affairs tbh.
And she caused it. Leave means leave. It does not mean fcuk up the negotiations and do everything in your power to stop the will of the people.
And I'm worried about the state of Yemen and how your husband is absolutely complicit in what the UN has stated is the worst humanitarian crisis that the world has ever seen!
Cool
Two faced cow caused every problem we have .The worst prime minister ever and worst Tory
You are part of the problem, Treeza.
She needn’t worry. Things will get a whole lot better from 25th onward 👍 TheresaMay theresa_may
That’s because the likes of her don’t listen to us commoners.
Bye bye Madam Prime Minister. Fear not, the world will survive after you depart.
look in the mirror..
You want to be worried about our Police force you decimated, good riddance
Why?
Oh good Lord. She’s literally been in a position for the last three years to do something about the state of politics. Unlike those of us who can only sit and watch with a sense of dread and foreboding.
Got some front. She's the most useless of the lot
Says the author of the issues!
Take the consequences of your actions
The is code for: I am worried the onepartystate no longer works.
Telling us the future....speak out against useless politicians and you will be punished....going the north Korean way of life
She did more damage to politics than any PM before her, useless
We’ll be fine without you. Tatty bye.
Who created the current “state of politics”?
If only TheresaMay had been able to do something about it. She must be gutted she never had a chance.
Politics at the moment
Eh She's the cause of shit politics in the UK!!!
Let's start off by punishing those MPs who fall asleep or sat on their phones in the House of Commons
worried about the state of politics ... coming from the lady and her party who couldn't sort out Brexit in almost two and half years. All of our politicians are useless, only in it for themselves not one gives a damn about the people
N i wonder whose fault that is eh
I’m not surprised especially with the mess she’s created
It's not politics that are the problem it's a large part of the electorate with a misplaced sense of entitlement that are willing to be spoon fed lies which is bringing the country down.
Yes like you May lying to the entire country to get elected based on a lie, you pushed David Davis out of the way with Canada ++ for your new 'treaty' that would lock us in the EUSSR
“Brexit means Brexit!” Appoints the arch nemesis of Brexit Phillip Hammond to the 2nd most senior cabinet office!! When you look back, it’s head banging despair!!
Worst pm in history
Too little, too late
She is responsible but seems incapable of realising that!!
and she's caused the problem
I couldn’t watch this! Really I was infuriated just reading parts of it! It’s all her damn fault! Brexit failure! Allowing the rise of Corbyn!This liberal PC madness we have to all tip toe on egg shells about! It’s infuriating! We have a little solace though next week! She’s gone
What a joke!
I'm sure it will start to improve in the next couple of weeks when you're gone
You mean people are getting fed up with you money hungry parasites fucxxin the poor and poverty stricken
The politicians cause all the shit
Has she looked into the mirror?
May seems entangled in the mechanics of politics and insular talk of, rather than actually doing something positive & outward looking on policies during her 3 years as PM for the good of ALL / MOST voters. theresa_may patel4witham carolinenokes PennyMordaunt johnredwood
She is a perpetrator of the state that it has gotten in to, where politicians are far removed from the electorate, and are more bothered about themselves, and couldn't care less about the people.
