Theresa May speaks with fellow attendees during the International Women of Courage Award ceremony in the East Room of the White House on March 4, 2024.In a statement to her local paper, the Maidenhead Advertiser, May said it has been “an honour and a privilege” to serve as the town’s MP since 1997.
May, 67, said: “Being an MP is about service to one’s constituents and I have always done my best to ensure that I respond to the needs of local people and the local area. “Since stepping down as prime minister I have enjoyed being a backbencher again and having more time to work for my constituents and champion causes close to my heart including most recently launching a Global Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.“Because of this, after much careful thought and consideration, I have realised that, looking ahead, I would no longer be able to do my job as an MP in the way I believe is right and my constituents deserve.
