Theresa Mary May - Britain's Prime Minister-in-waiting and Leader of the Conservative Party since July 2016 - has shared her favourite ever songs, in the unlikely event she ever gets stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere.

In 2014, the politician spoke on an episode of the popular BBC Radio 4 programme 'Desert Island Discs', sharing her most treasured tracks.

May's picks included the likes of ABBA and Frankie Vallie & The Four Seasons.
