The former prime minister said her Brexit deal was 'better' than Boris Johnson's, as she accused her successor of undermining public trust via the Partygate scandal
but was blocked in the Commons by “hardline” Brexiteers and Remainers.
The Tory backbencher also took a swipe at Mr Johnson for having “accepted what the EU had actually proposed in the first place, and then claimed it was a great victory”.Speaking to the BBC later about her new book,, the former prime minister also criticised Mr Johnson over the Partygate scandal, suggesting it undermined public trust in politicians.
She said the implication that there was one rule for the public and one rule for the politicians during the Covid crisis was “damaging” for the Government. Asked by the BBC’s Nick Robinson whether a passage in her book about politicians using power to protect themselves referred to figures such as Mr Johnson, Mrs May said: “The examples in the book that I give of institutions and individuals in various ways exemplifies that sense of defending their institution rather than doing the job of protecting those that they were there to serve.”
