Theresa May has announced that she will step down from her position as the British Prime Minister on June 7th. She announced this on Friday at a press conference outside 10 Downing Street.
May lists what she sees as some of her domestic achievements during her three years as Prime Minister, and reminds reporters that even though she is the second female UK prime minister, she won’t be the last.
“Ever since I first stepped through the door behind me as prime minister I have striven to make the United Kingdom a country that works not just for the privileged few but for everyone, and to honor the result of the referendum,” May says.
“I have done my best. I have tried three times to deliver Brexit,” May says — but she has failed to do so.
“Our politics may be under strain, but there is so much that is good about this country.” She adds that she is leaving with no ill will.
She says it has been the honor of her life to hold the post of prime minister, holding back tears and choking up at the end of her statement as she says she has served the country she loves.
Theresa May adds it is a matter of personal regret for her that she has failed to deliver on her flagship policy.
