Theresa May's Last Day's
June 2019
This was a very last minute shoot with Theresa May who was heading in to her last week as Prime Minister, before stepping down. Grazia had managed to get access to a school visit, where she was announcing a new policy, with a promise of 10 minutes face to face time with the PM.
However when I arrived, Number 10 PR’s basically said that I could only get the Pool shots - the orchestrated short photo op’s that the rest of the assembled press could shoot.
We eventually managed to negotiate a short 1 minute shoot during the interview.
The stipulation that we were continuously told, was that we could only access any room that the PM was in once she was settled and we had to leave before she got up.
They were no longer trusting her with safely standing up or sitting down in front of the press!!
