The U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May looks set to step down in June or July after a meeting with disgruntled lawmakers that left her"tearful," according to British media.
The Daily Telegraph, a newspaper favoring Brexit, reported the meeting was"emotionally charged" and that Prime Minister May will step down by June 30 at the latest. That announcement was an attempt to get more lawmakers to side with the deal, but it now seems that whatever happens, a new prime minister will be in place by the deadline for the U.K. to leave the European Union on Oct. 31 of this year.
I have written to Theresa May to say that talks on finding a compromise agreement for leaving the European Union have gone as far as they can. May's Brexit deal has come under criticism from lawmakers of all political persuasions. Some suggest the deal will leave the U.K. too closely aligned to the EU, while others believe the deal will damage the U.K.'s economy.
