There’s been a lot of speculation in the past few weeks that members of the UK Conservative Party are planning to “oust” Prime Minister Theresa May as she’s so far failed to deliver Brexit.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to remain in office until the Conservative conference in September after setting a summer deadline to finalise Brexit talks, The Times reported.
According to The Times, if the prime minister fails to announce her intention to step down until mid-July, Tory lawmakers will be unable to finish voting on leadership candidates until they return to the House of Commons in September.
In March, Theresa May pledged to resign if Tories back the Brexit withdrawal agreement she negotiated with the European Union. She stressed that she was aware that the MPs didn’t want her to remain at the helm during the next phase of Brexit talks, and she didn’t want to “stand in the way of that”.
