How Theresa May’s Actions Could Affect the UK Economy
On the 11th of July 2016, Theresa May became the Leader of the Conservative Party, succeeding David Cameron who resigned following the UK’s vote to leave the EU. The significance of this is that Ms May also became the only female PM we’ve had in the 21st Century and only the second in our political history, behind Margaret Thatcher.
Such an appointment is clearly quite a progressive action in what can often be seen as quite a male-dominated environment, and already Theresa May has shown her intent to succeed by laying out plans for the country, focusing in particular on the economy. Here, we look at some of these plans and question how these could affect the economy and UK businesses in the coming years of her tenure as PM.
