Tearful Theresa May resigns, paving way for Brexit confrontation with EU via kyliemaclellan piperliza WJames_Reuters
LONDON - Fighting back tears, Theresa May said on Friday she would quit, setting up a contest that will bring a new British prime minister to power who could pursue a cleaner break with the European Union.
“I will shortly leave the job that has been the honor of my life to hold,” May said outside her Downing Street official residence. “The second female prime minister, but certainly not the last. Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the main opposition Labour Party, said the new prime minister must hold a parliamentary election to “let the people decide our country’s future”.May bequeaths a deeply divided country and a political elite that is deadlocked over how, when or whether to leave the EU.
An official for France’s presidency said the EU needed swift clarification from Britain on its next Brexit steps.Boris Johnson, the face of the official Brexit campaign in 2016, is the favorite to succeed May and he thanked her for her “stoical service”. Betting markets put a 40% implied probability on Johnson winning the top job.
