UK PM Theresa May quits as Conservative Party leader, sparking succession race
2019-06-08
[DAWN] British Prime Minister Theresa May steps down as leader of her Conservative Party on Friday, formally triggering the race for a successor who will try where she failed to deliver, Brexit.

May will remain prime minister until a new leader is chosen, likely in late July, but has relinquished control over the direction of Britannia's tortuous departure from the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
Brexit is still scheduled for Oct 31 but while her rivals thrash it out, the project remains stuck, with the only divorce plan agreed with Brussels stuck in parliament.

May took office after the 2016 referendum vote to leave the EU and has spent the past three years working on the plan, delaying Brexit twice to try to get it through. But she finally acknowledged defeat in a tearful resignation speech last month, the culmination of months of political turmoil that has slowly sapped all her authority.

#4  May steps down as leader of her fake Conservative Party, paving way for the next fake conservative to step up and bind Britain to the EU, whilst vociferously announcing dates for Brexit and repeatedly running referendums.

#3  No she is not; even Peanut Boy had a firm ‘sell by’ date; none of this ‘interim’ crap.
why our British cousins tolerate it is beyond me, but them I am not likely to sit down to a meal of Spotted Dick.

Odd way of saying she's done everything possible to not follow the referendum voters instruction to leave the EUSSR.
