Theresa May is expected to cave in to demands that she resign and let a new leader try to complete the UK's stalled withdrawal from the EU, some of the British prime minister's closest advisers say
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May arrives to vote in the European Parliament Elections, taking place despite Brexit uncertainty, in Sonning, Britain, May 23, 2019.
Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, treasurer of the committee that oversees Conservative leadership races, said that if May did not agree to leave, there would be "overwhelming pressure" for a no-confidence vote in her. With her authority draining away by the hour, May on Thursday delayed plans to publish the EU withdrawal bill — her fourth and likely final attempt to secure Parliament's backing for her Brexit blueprint.
"No one has wanted you to succeed more than I have, but I do now urge you to make the right decisions in the interests of the country, this government and our party," Leadsom wrote in a resignation letter to May.But she also delayed the bill, which May previously said would be published Friday and put to a vote during the week of June 3.The political turmoil weighed on the pound, which fell to $1.2601 on Thursday, its lowest point against the dollar since early January.
Many Conservatives blame May for the delay, and want her replaced with a more ardent Brexiteer such as Johnson or former Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab.
