Former PM to examine issue of trust in politics and Oscar-winning actor’s show will discuss AI
The former prime minister Theresa May is to guest edit Radio 4’s Today programme and use it to explore the issue of dwindling trust in politics.
May, who resigned in 2019 with a tearful statement about the honour she felt in holding the office, will edit Today on New Year’s Eve.
The BBC said May would investigate the themes of domestic violence, modern slavery and trust in politics.
In her memoirs May argued that the abuse of power had eroded trust in democratic institutions. They cited disasters including Hillsborough and Grenfell Tower. The book was praised for its analysis, but May was criticised for not being more open about her own failings.
