'I will shortly leave the job that it has been the honor of my life to hold,' said British Prime Minister Theresa May in a tearful statement announcing her resignation
May said Friday she would quit as leader of the Conservative Party on June 7, but would stay on as Prime Minister until a successor is chosen.May was forced into making the announcement after losing the support of her Cabinet, many of whom were fed up with the ongoing turmoil over Brexit. The last straw for Cabinet ministers appears to have been the latest version of May's Brexit plan, which she unveiled on Tuesday.
Johnson has bitterly opposed the withdrawal deal that May negotiated with the EU, and resigned from her Cabinet over it. But it's unclear whether her successor would have any luck reopening the deal, which Brussels has insisted is locked down. May's successor as prime minister will face the same deadlocked House of Commons, which has repeatedly rejected May's plan but failed to vote in favor of any kind of alternative.
