Theresa May resigns: new PM by end of July

Political Editor

Like Thatcher and Cameron, Theresa May was defeated by Europe.

Like Pitt the Younger and Gladstone, she was also defeated by the Irish question.

Having failed to deliver Brexit, she’s been forced out by the men and women in grey suits.

She ceases to be Tory leader two weeks today and ceases to be Prime Minister when her successor is elected by Tory Party members at the end of July – if the MPs don’t stitch it up beforehand.
