Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May announces resignation

Theresa May has announced her resignation as Conservative leader and effectively ended her tenure as Britain’s Prime Minister.

Mrs May said in a statement in Downing Street that she would resign as Tory leader on Friday June 7, triggering a leadership contest the following week which former foreign secretary Boris Johnson is favourite to win.

Mrs May opted to continue in a caretaker capacity till a new conservative leader was duly elected by the end of July.

The Brexit saga has consumed Mrs May and her party, which is heading for a disastrous set of results in European Parliament elections. Dan Hannan, a Tory MEP, said he expected that not a single Conservative would be elected.


Mrs May became prime minister in 2016, replacing David Cameron after having previously served for six years as home secretary.
