BREAKING! Theresa May Resigns As Uk Prime Minister

Theresa May resigns as UK Prime minister. The PM has come under increased pressure from her own party over her failed Brexit plans.

The Prime Minister has announced that she is to leave her position within weeks.

Theresa May met with the chair of the influential 1922 committee – a group of MPs who represent the Conservative Party’s backbenchers – on Friday morning where she announced the timetable for her departure.
