UK leadership hopefuls vow to succeed where May failed on Brexit


The race to become Britain’s next premier opened Saturday with an array of hopefuls promising to succeed where Theresa May failed and finally pull the divided country out of the EU.

But European leaders insisted they had made their final offer during months or acrimonious negotiations that resulted in an unpopular compromise for which May ended up paying with her job.

The British prime minister’s voice broke on the steps of her Downing Street office when she told Britons on Friday that she was quitting on June 7.
