Theresa May to resign: PM breaks down announcing resignation on June 7 | Daily Mail Online

'It's been the honour of my life to serve the country I love': Theresa May breaks down as she announces she will stand down on June 7 in emotional announcement and pleads for politicians to find Brexit compromise that eluded her
  • PM spent the night at home in Berkshire with her husband Philip before returning to Downing Street today
  • Mrs May announce plans this morning to step aside as Tory leader on June 7 and leave No10 over the summer
  • Mrs May began the day with a meeting with the Tories' backbench 1922 shop steward Sir Graham Brady
  • She then address the nation from Downing Street to explain why she has decided to leave 'the job I love'
Theresa May broke down in tears today as she read the last rites on her troubled premiership after bowing to a massive Tory mutiny over her Brexit plans.

The Prime Minister announced her departure in an emotional statement on the steps of Downing Street after meeting Tory backbench chief Sir Graham Brady and giving the news to her staff behind closed doors.

'I've done my best,' she said. 'I have done everything I can to convince MPs to back that deal ... sadly I have not been able to do so.

'It is and will always remain a matter of deep regret to me that I have not been able to deliver Brexit.'
 
Wow... what a clusterflux.

Heading to Ireland and England in July. Maybe I'll just stay in Ireland... it might be zombie apocalypse over there by then.
 
Eventually you just have to say enough and that "this is UDI..."

Could you imagine theDonald resigning because he couldn't get a wall built within 2 years of inauguration???

Neither can I. I don't get this "well, I had this one thing and I can't get it done" thing. Damn. I mean Margaret Thatcher did about 50 things.

Perhaps the Brits are bit myopic on this one. I do recall 3 (4?) years ago when Brexit happened and everyone lost their collective S-word because it "was so imminent if they voted for it." Here we sit. Still not done. No big surprise.

She is a liar and turd. unfortunately history would suggest that the next round of British leadership will be just as bad.

The big difference is she actually doesn't want to do Brexit. She, and the rest of the British globalist elitists who "know better than the unwashed masses", were trying to do Brexit in name only. The vocal pols that actually represent the will of the citizens who voted for Brexit wouldn't go along with her and held up every fake she attempted.

Think of it more as if Hillary had said she'd build a wall in order to get elected, and then had tried to just put up a shoji screen and call it a wall.

The British political system is weird. I dont understand it.

Didnt the last PM step down because Brexit passed?

Do the people even get a say on who becomes PM?

Should have picked June 6th.
Or, as I like to call it "The Ides of June..."

We need another D-Day. This time over the EU...

The British political system makes more sense if you understand British history. It's an "organic" development since 1066 and wasn't planned out and written like ours.

And no, the Brits elect MPs and the leader of the largest party is appointed PM.
 
She promised to deliver brexit and spent 2 years trying to leave the European union in name only but still stayed under their laws and rules. Just imagine if the U.N. Had the final say over our country. It's a good thing she left
 
May was a Swamp creature. Good riddance, she wanted nothing to do with Brexit and probably had to return millions of kickbacks to the EU when she gave up her position. She just kicked the can down the road.

Loser with L
 
As others stated she wanted to basically gut Brexit. October is the current deadline. With any luck they'll just exit with no EU deal and fully separate.

The EU and UN need to go the way of the League of Nations. Both are just attempts at global socialism and gigantic mistakes.

I wish Trump would tell the UN to go pound sand, close the US location and zero out the funding.

He’s one of four but a man can dream can’t he? Wish Farage would be in it.....
Here’s Boris’s take:

“Outlining his Brexit position, he told the conference: "We will leave the EU on 31 October, deal or no deal. The way to get a good deal is to prepare for a no deal."

Farage has never even been an MP, only an EU-MP. There are too many safe Conservative and Labour seats for the Brexit Party to win a UK General Election and have enough MPs to make Nigel PM.

Because people can safely vote for the Brexit Party as a protest vote, it appears it has kicked butt in the EU Parliament election but no official results can be publicly released until all the members have had their elections. The final ones are today.

Apparently the results were available to Teresa May which factored in her quitting.

It's a parliamentary system, which is relatively common. The leader of the party that controls Parliament is appointed Prime Minister by the Queen. If a single party doesn't have a majority in Parliament, then the party with the largest representation tries to form a government in alliance with one or more minority parties -- this usually involves horsetrading on cabinet appointments and legislative priorities.

The advantage of a Parliamentary system like the UK's is that the party in power controls both the executive branch and the legislature, and is thus able to quickly enact new laws. That is also its disadvantage as there are few checks and balances to prevent the majority from trampling the minority.
