Race to replace May leaves Brexit in limbo

But whoever takes over from May will like her face the same razor-thin majority in parliament, an EU with no intention of changing the divorce offer that MPs have rejected three times, and proponents both for and against Brexit who will never compromise.

The next prime minister of the UK, a country of more than 66 million people, will be decided by the 100,000 or so paid-up members of the Conservative Party. So far, only Johnson, Stewart and former pensions minister Esther McVey have declared their intention to stand. With the House of Commons' arithmetic unchanged,"the question is, could a new prime minister go back to the EU 27 and get a different deal that would be more attractive to parliament," Travers said.

Labour MP Chris Bryant, calling for a second Brexit referendum, said the new prime minister could not go for a no-deal Brexit.
