British PM says will resign before 'next phase' of Brexit negotiations: MP
LONDON: Faced with losing all control over the Brexit process, British Prime Minister Theresa May has made one final, desperate move - hinting she will step down if MPs approve her Brexit deal.
She has all but lost control of her government, with ministers from both the pro- and anti-Brexit camps joining scores of Conservative MPs in defying the government in parliamentary votes. Her former director of communications, Katie Perrior, wrote in The Times newspaper that May was"a passenger at the time when the country needed a rally driver".
The splits in her Conservative party became a serious problem after a disastrous snap election in June 2017, when May lost her parliamentary majority. But in the last election, she struggled to engage with voters and was dubbed the"Maybot" after churning out the same answers and speeches over and over again.
