on her Brexit deal on Friday and accused on all sides of plunging Britain into chaos, Prime Minister Theresa May's leadership is hanging by a thread.
In a final desperate move on Wednesday she said she would step down if MPs approved her deal in a bid to appease the Brexiteer wing of her party. She listened to cricket matches on the radio with her father and knew that she wanted to become a politician when she was just 12. May made her first splash by telling her Tories at an annual conference to stop being"the nasty party" if they wanted to unseat then-popular Labour leader Tony Blair.
Despite having campaigned to stay in the EU, she embraced the cause with the mantra"Brexit means Brexit". She was forced to strike a deal with Northern Ireland's pro-Brexit Democratic Unionist Party , and since then has struggled to keep her party and its allies together.
