Embattled British Prime Minister Theresa May confirmed her resignation in a solemn address given outside her former residence at No. 10 Downing st Friday in a long-awaited move.
The process for electing a new leader should begin next week May said, after confirming that she had informed the Queen of her decision to step down while expressing regret that she had failed to secure a Brexit deal.
“I will resign as leader of the Conservative and Unionist party on Friday, 7 June so that a successor can be chosen,” May said in front of the steps of 10 Downing Street.
May will continue to serve as the British leader until the process of electing a new leader is completed. Tory chairman Brandon Lewis said the party's leadership contest will begin in the week starting 10 June with a final vote in mid-July.

She's the best leader I ever seen. She took responsibility and not finger pointing or blaming others.
