国际英语资讯:Ice maiden or robot? UK PM relives her disaster conference

"In my life there have, of course, been difficult times but what motivates me is giving a voice to those who struggle to be heard," she said.

Asked if she feared for her own safety when the prankster approached her during the speech, May said: "I wasn't concerned for my safety, there was nothing about his body language that gave me cause for alarm. I have protection people who are fantastic. They look out for me and I trust them completely. I cannot imagine many people watching found the prank funny, though."

May also said it was hugely important that leaders do not become shut off from the public.

"We need to get out there to make our case, to listen to what really matters to people and to learn what we can do to make their lives better," she said.

She said from a group of men she met on a stag do in Tallinn last week to the people she talked to when knocking on doors, she rarely meet anything other than warmth, wit and wisdom.

Other media reports Sunday speculated that May was planning to reshuffle her top-team cabinet, with under-fire Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson a possible casualty of a shake-up.

In her Sunday Times interview, May gave no hint of her intentions, apart from describing her cabinet as "terrific".

She said; "I'm the PM and part of my job is to make sure I always have the best people in my cabinet, to make the most of the wealth of talent available in the party. I have a terrific cabinet. For me leadership is not gossip and game-playing."
