Opinion | Changing its leader won’t change the UK’s Brexit chaos
This time it’s for real. Theresa May didn’t exactly say when she would leave 10 Downing Street, but on Thursday she promised to name her exit date in early June.
She previously promised to leave before the next election and then after her Brexit deal won approval from parliament; now she will step down regardless. Replacing May doesn’t change the fact that there will be no trade deal with Europe of any kind without an agreement that keeps the Irish border open
Then, Donald Trump is coming for a state visit in early June; a Brexit-supporting president who has reigned defiant will face a lame duck prime minister who failed to deliver it. She will probably have to endure his praise for Boris Johnson, a leadership contender Trump admires; criticism over Britain’s decision to parlay with China’s Huawei; and no doubt other indignities.
