Leadsom is “actively considering” entering the race to replace May.
By Karla Adam Karla Adam London correspondent covering the United Kingdom Email Bio Follow May 22 at 4:37 PM LONDON — A day of fevered speculation about whether British Prime Minister Theresa May would resign concluded instead with the resignation of one of her key ministers, House of Commons leader Andrea Leadsom.
But she may be eyeing another run for No. 10. On Tuesday, Leadsom told LBC radio that she was “actively considering” and “preparing” for a leadership bid. Leadsom said a second Brexit referendum would be “dangerously divisive.” May, too, has opposed a second referendum, but on Tuesday she offered Parliament a chance to vote on whether there should be a second public vote.
There was much commotion on Wednesday over the possibility that May could be pushed out by lawmakers in her own party.
