Theresa Mayhas said her Christian faith helps her make difficult decisions as she revealed her husband Philip picks her clothes and handbags when she goes shopping.

The Prime Minister said her belief in God means she has faith in her gut instincts as she defended her leadership style which has been criticised for shutting others out of the decision-making process.

Mrs May, a keen follower of fashion, also unmasked her stylist as her husband Philip, who is "good at accessories too, particularly good at choosing handbags and bracelets for presents and good at flowers".
