Prime Minister Theresa May is under pressure to resign after a backlash to her final Brexit gambit. Reuters looks at some of the Conservatives who may run for leadership
LONDON - Prime Minister Theresa May is under pressure from lawmakers in her own party to resign immediately after a backlash to her final Brexit gambit.She has so far only said she will agree to a timetable for her departure after a planned fourth vote on her Brexit deal in early June, but senior members of her Conservative Party are already jostling to replace her.
On Thursday the BBC reported he had told The British Insurance Brokers’ Association, “Of course I’m going to go for it.”The pro-Brexit former television presenter, who resigned as work and pensions minister in November in protest at May’s exit deal with the European Union, has said she plans to run in the leadership contest.
“I do want to bring this country together ... I accept Brexit, I am a Brexiteer, but I want to reach out to ‘Remain’ voters as well,” he told the BBC.Gove, one of the highest-profile Brexit campaigners during the 2016 referendum, has had to rebuild his cabinet career after falling early to May in the contest to replace Cameron, who resigned the day after losing the referendum.
Hunt voted to remain in the EU in the referendum. He served six years as Britain’s health minister, a role that has made him unpopular with many voters who work in or rely on the state-run, financially stretched National Health Service. He had held junior ministerial roles since being elected in 2010. Raab, a black belt in karate, campaigned for Brexit.
