THE PM has admitted to having sleepless night over Brexit but says her faith in God will guide our path out of Europe.

In her most personal interview since taking office in July, Theresa May said her moral sense of right and wrong is helping her work out what is best for Britain at a “hugely challenging time.”

She claims: “There is something in terms of faith, I am a practising member of the Church of England and so forth, that lies behind what I do.”

The daughter of a vicar went on: “If you know you are doing the right thing, you have the confidence, the energy to go and deliver that right message.”

But she confessed “in this job you don’t get much time to sleep” and admitted that she was “very conscious” of the enormity of Brexit saying ‘it’s a moment of change” and “a hugely challenging time.”

Speaking to the Sunday Times magazine, Mrs May said: “We can make a success of it, we will make a success of it. But these are really complex issues.”

The PM also used the interview to defend her micro-managing style of government after critics blasted No10’s “control freakery”.

Mrs May did not deny the suggestion she keeps a close eye on all of the details, instead saying: “What I like to do is make sure I have all the information I need.”

Ministers have been left tearing their hair out at the slow policy making process under Mrs May’s administration, but she hit back saying: “Process is important, ensuring that when you take a decision, you’ve done it on the best possible information.”

Explaining her methods she said: “If someone says ‘Will you do X’ I’ll say, ‘well what’s behind X? What’s the impact of X? Let’s look at this properly’. Coming to my own view, but also hearing from other people.”

No10 insiders have complained that the new way of doing things is creating a policy “backlog” in Downing Street.

One source told the Mail on Sunday: “papers keep coming back with questions and queries,”

They went on: “Lots of things aren’t getting signed off” and “her boxes aren’t getting completed in time… she want to second guess everything.”

One minister told the Times that Mrs May’s “control freakery” was angering Cabinet Ministers “who don’t like being lorded over.”
