Theresa May has announced she will step down Friday, June 7 as U.K. prime minister after failing to win support for her plan to withdraw from the European Union.
Speaking outside 10 Downing Street on Friday, she said it was “in the interests of the country for a new prime minister” to lead the U.K.’s Brexit process and confirmed her final day as Conservative Party leader would be June 7 — but she will continue as prime minister until a successor is chosen.
“It is and will always remain a matter of deep regret to me that I have not been able to deliver Brexit. It will be for my successor to seek a way forward that honors the result of the referendum,” she said. “To succeed he or she will have to find consensus in parliament where I have not.
“The referendum was not just a call to leave the EU but for profound change in our country.”

She tried three times to implement Brexit.
During her speech, May spent time defending her record on other issues.
A tearful May concluded by saying: “I will shortly leave the job that’s been the honor of my life to hold. The second female prime minister, but certainly not the last.
“I do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love.”
