I guess we shouldn't be surprised that she also supports the two state solution.

Based on the public comments we've seen from the incoming prime minister, she intends to pursue a course that's consistent with the prescription that President Obama has offered," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

She will also attempt to unite her divided Conservative party and a fractured nation in which many, on the evidence of the vote, feel angry with the political elite and left behind by the forces of globalization.

In comments addressed to ordinary Britons, she spoke of the 'burning injustice' suffered by large sections of society: poor people facing shorter life expectancy; blacks treated more harshly by the criminal justice system; women earning less than men; the mentally ill; and young people struggling to buy homes.

Acknowledging the struggles faced by many people, May declared: "The government I lead will be driven not be the interests of the privileged few, but by yours. We will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives."

I'm adding this comment as I thought it interesting. Views from different positions.

All the same, this is the most radical speech from a Tory prime minister since John Major described his dream of a classless society.

Christine Lagarde wants softer, kinder IMF to face populist anger

The US should increase its minimum wage and do more to counter a growing income polarisation; France needs to better deploy public benefits to reduce inequality; Italy ought to bring more women into its labour force.

The International Monetary Fund has long had an image as a neoliberal bastion of bureaucrats with an obsession for fiscal rectitude and a tin ear for social and political consequences. But in its advice to three of its biggest members this week, the fund displayed a concern with issues that just a few years ago might have seemed out of step with its traditional focus on growth and budget deficits.

Confronted with this year’s political howl against globalisation in the US and other western economies — and with the threat that it might yield very real consequences embodied in last month’s British vote to leave the EU — the IMF is embracing its own brand of activism.
