Theresa May must resign over ‘security failures’ leading to terror attacks – Cameron’s policy guru
David Cameron’s former policy guru Steve Hilton claims that Theresa May must resign for “security failures” that led to recent terror attacks – in Westminster, Manchester and London Bridge.
Steve Hilton said May bore responsibility for the attacks and she should not be seeking re-election. The accusation came before May’s speech on Monday regarding the terror attacks, The Independent reports.
May has already been attacked by political rivals and police figures over severe cuts.

Hilton left Downing Street in 2012, posted reports relating to an alleged suspect of Saturday’s attack, pointing out that “Theresa May responsible for security failures of London Bridge, Manchester, Westminster Bridge. Should be resigning not seeking re-election.”
He added: “Theresa May blame shifting again. Her spin doctors attack MI5, but she was in charge of them for years.”
Between 2010 and 2016 there was a 20 per cent drop in the number of armed officers. In addition, there was a total reduction of some 20,000 police officers in general. It was the period when May was at the the Home Office.
