LONDON - Fighting back tears, Theresa May said on Friday she would quit, setting up a contest that will bring a new British prime minister to power who could pursue a cleaner break with the European Union.
“I will shortly leave the job that has been the honor of my life to hold,” May said outside her Downing Street official residence. “The second female prime minister, but certainly not the last. Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the main opposition Labour Party, said the new prime minister must hold a parliamentary election to “let the people decide our country’s future”.May bequeaths a deeply divided country and a political elite that is deadlocked over how, when or whether to leave the EU.
An official for France’s presidency said the EU needed swift clarification from Britain on its next Brexit steps.Boris Johnson, the face of the official Brexit campaign in 2016, is the favorite to succeed May and he thanked her for her “stoical service”. Betting markets put a 40% implied probability on Johnson winning the top job.
Is it time for the U.K. to pull out their Johnson, yet?
Feeling sorry for her. She tried and fought well .. but betrayed by his own mps over and over
Say what you will - I feel sorry for her ...
I don't follow so why is it on my feed?
I’m on my way!
England has stood for a long time. Suddenly not being ruled by Brussels is hard? Curious.

Theresa May to resign on June 7Prime minister’s voice cracked as she said: ‘I will shortly leave the job that it has been the honor of my life to hold.’ An honour that she did not deserve - not because of her incompetence, that would be forgivable, but for her unforgivable duplicitous scheming against Brexit, the British people and against democracy itself. Lmao that pic

Theresa May to Step Down as U.K. Prime MinisterTheresa May said she would quit as British prime minister once her party chooses a successor, following her repeated failure to win approval for a Brexit deal almost three years after the U.K. voted to leave the European Union. Hopefully, someone with courage to follow the will of the British people? May is almost over. And who will tell that the new leader will continue steering GB out of the EU?
