After her tired appearance this week forced her to deny she was “miserable”, May said she was driven by a desire to “root out injustice and give everyone in our country a voice”.
She promised to fight to ensure “that each new generation should be able to build a better future”.

“I believe it is profoundly in all our interests for the negotiations to succeed but… it is our responsibility as a government to prepare for every eventuality,” she said.
