Prime Minister Theresa May leaves the scene near Grenfell Tower in west London after a fire engulfed the 24-storey building yesterday morning.
Theresa May : The Accidental Prime Minister is on ITV 1 & ITV X at 10.25pm tonight. Theresa May has admitted she should have met Grenfell Tower survivors sooner after the 2017 tragedy when she was prime minister.
The outgoing MP for Maidenhead described Donald Trump - who was in the White House when she was in No10 - as an 'unpredictable' president, adding that 'unpredictability is difficult to deal with'. Mrs May faced an outcry after she initially did not meet survivors of the Grenfell Tower blaze, which claimed 72 lives, during a visit in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy on 14 June 2017.
He added: 'We served her very badly because it played on the perceptions that people already have from the election campaign, that she wasn't comfortable with that kind of face-to-face contact.' During the documentary, directed by Sam Collyns, Mrs May recounted the time Mr Trump took her hand while they walked outside the White House in 2017.
In the documentary, senior minister Penny Mordaunt said she was told that a key part of Mrs May's Brexit deal was already set in stone after being agreed with former German chancellor Angela Merkel before Cabinet went to Chequers in 2018 to discuss it.
