Theresa May risks accusations of hypocrisy after admitting she believes all women “should be able to access safe, legal abortion”.

The Prime Minister broke her silence on last month’s historic vote in the Republic of Ireland.

Speaking during the G7 summit, she said her “personal instinct” was that every woman should have the right to an abortion.

But the PM refused to intervene to give women that right in Northern Ireland.

She added: “There are a variety of views on this issue but this is, in terms of Northern Ireland, a devolved issue.”

Supreme Court judges have piled new pressure on Mrs May by calling for a “radical reconsideration” of the laws.

Labour MP Jess Phillips said: “The PM must intervene. It is a human rights violation.”
