May plans policy blitz for last days

THERESA May has drawn up a ‘bucket list’ of policy announcements for her final weeks as Prime Minister.

In an attempt to salvage her legacy, Mrs May is expected to make a series of interventions on paternity rights, student funding, technology and social housing.

Allies said she would return to the theme of tackling ‘burning injustices’ in British society that the Prime Minister set out when she came to office in July 2016.

A source said: ‘She’s going, we all know she’s going. But there are some things she still wants to do that feed back to the steps of Downing Street. She wants to focus on social justice and social mobility and getting the country ready for the future.’

Mrs May is expected to stand aside as Tory leader before the end of July to allow the contest to find her successor to begin.
