May's premiership was one of the most challenging in recent British history. She came to power in the wake of the Brexit referendum, and was tasked with negotiating the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. She also faced a number of other challenges, including the Grenfell Tower fire, the Manchester Arena bombing, and the Windrush scandal.
Despite these challenges, May managed to achieve some significant successes during her time in office. She secured a Brexit deal with the EU, and she oversaw the of a number of important reforms, including the of a national living wage and the creation of a new independent public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire.
However, May's premiership was also marked by a number of failures. She was unable to unite her party or the country behind her Brexit deal, and she was forced to resign after failing to get it through Parliament. She was also criticized for her handling of the Grenfell Tower fire and the Windrush scandal.
In his book, Seldon argues that May was a "tragic figure" who was ultimately defeated by the forces of Brexit. He praises her for her determination and resilience, but he also argues that she was too inflexible in her approach to Brexit and that she failed to build a consensus around her deal.
