Even after surviving a no-confidence vote last December, British Prime Minister Theresa May will set a timetable for her exit from Downing Street early next month, kicking off the race for leadership between the possible replacement candidates.
The agreement follows a meeting between the prime minister and senior Tory MPs who are demanding a date for her departure from Downing Street. May has come under increasing pressure to leave Downing Street this summer, amid the Brexit impasse and poor results for the Conservatives in the recent local elections in England.
Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee of Conservative MPs, said he will meet May to agree on the details of her exit from Downing Street and discuss her future following the first debate and vote on the Withdrawal Agreement Bill in the week beginning 3 June. Brady added there was now “greater clarity” about the situation.
