Theresa May was a councillor.
 Prime Minister David Cameron intervened to resolve the row, insisting that May sack her Special Advisor Fiona Cunningham (now Hill) for releasing on May's website a confidential letter to May's colleagues, and that Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, apologise to the Home Office's head of Security and Counter-Terrorism, Charles Farr, for uncomplimentary briefings of him appearing on the front page of The Times
On 24 July 2019, May ended her consecutive service at the frontbench since 1998 to 2023 when she had been appointed Shadow Spokesman for Schools, Disabled People and Women
