Theresa May to resign as prime minister - BBC News 

So June really is the end of May. Very poetic...

So June really is the end of May

Fair to say she left at a lucky time. Avoiding the chaos of 2020.

I feel sorry for her. She stepped in during a very difficult time. I don’t necessarily agree with everything she’s done/ hasn’t done. However she is a good person.

Still a better ending than Game of Thrones

Everyone said it June is the end of may

"To serve the country I love" 😥🇬🇧♥

She’s in the Endgame now.

The next person in the job will not get anything done either, the House of Commons is divided and will remain so.

God, I'm so glad that door opened for her at the end. Shouting through a letterbox is no way to end a premiership.

she's not a bad PM, She became the PM at the wrong time. Same would've happened to any PM.

Can I just say... we are all making a joke of her success, let’s just remember that she was one of the only constituents willing to take on the role. Blame Mr Cameron, it’s because if him we find ourselves the laughing stock of the world and in both economic and political ruin

Waw the BBC haven't disabled the comments ! I'm in shock

2 Prime Ministers leaving due to brexit 😂

Teacher: Have you done your homework? Me: 0:59

She left before Covid, her body and mind has no stress, so thankful for her.

2016: David Cameron 2019:Theresa May *Queen Elizabeth:I can do this all day*

And whoever follows her will be full of promises and be in the exact same position

prime ministers lost to ww2: 1 prime ministers lost to brexit: 2 it's official, brexit is deadlier then ww2

*Theresa May left the chat* Boris Johnson: Anyone up for a Brexit later tonight lads🍻

Theresa May: guys i have a idea *Theresa May has left the game*

UK: We want to leave EU. EU: Ok, when? UK: Yes.

Looking back on this a year later, given the situation we are currently in, I bet she's glad she left when she did.

She seems like an honorable woman.

SO PMs only have to give 14 days notice? I think I gave more than that when I left my last job.

Looks like the end of May will happen twice this year: 1st June and the 7th June

It’s been a very emotional speech. At the end it seemed she regretted she couldn’t get the way she thought it was the right one.

The most unnecessarily hated and belittled prime minister ever.

We need a June bank holiday as it’s the end of May.

Next stop: Strictly Come Dancing?

Y'all did her dirty with the thumbnail😂

“Compromise is not a dirty word, life depends on compromise.”

Theresa May is the type of negotiator to leave DFS with a full price sofa.

She had to make the announcement before the end of MAY.

Comparing this to Johnson's barbaric resignation, for once I have an ounce of respect for a tory.

Good PM in the wrong time

This was uploaded near the end of may

🦀Theresa May is gone!🦀 But honestly her leaving won't fix anything. We'll be in this shit for years.

I was waiting for "unfortunately I was unable to deliver breakfast"

This Boris, is how you do a resignation speech.

May tried to please everyone and in the end pleased no one.

She's gone but we'll have another establishment clown to follow,same old BS.

Looking back she wasn’t that bad

Hey May three months since you've been gone and you're no longer the worst pm. Good for you.

just have to wait for The Bad Lip reading of this now

They've actually cut funding for mental health and the disabled. As usual her words don't match her actions, if she leaves on the 7th it'll be the first time they have.

I just came here to see the comments 🤣😭😭

Felt a little bad for her at the end. But then again if she'd done a better job she wouldn't be in this position.

Mama always told me brexit was like a box of chocolates, you never know who is gonna resign

Mrs May move on and i bet you will be happier 🦊

This could literally be the end of a movie

Best Prime Minister this country has has in a long time. She stepped in at the most difficult time and tried her best to please us, hats off to her.

The thumbnail tho😂😂

Theresa June

She's speaks so well I still miss her

6:28 when your mum shouts you down for dinner and it’s not even ready

Theresa May : opens the door without turning the handle Me : Roblox lifestyle

Peggy Mitchell: "Get outta ma pub, go on! Get out!"

Someone give her a hug...... Its like watchng a nice aunte try to be a tough PM....didnt work

I was always on Corbyns side, but I'd take her back in a heartbeat over this current lot

"Bringing an end to austerity" Are you being serious? 😂

As a Dutchman, I really wonder why you Brits seem to hate her so much? She was given an impossible job but managed to get a deal with the EU, but the house refused to accept it and May was blamed again. Do you actually think she had a chance of making the electorate happy? The attacks all seem a bit unreasonable. Just curious..

Here’s an alternative statement. “I tried, I failed, I quit, I will now retire on a bucket load of cash.” Mike drop

She was right about not being the last female Prime Minister. (Feel free to make your own jokes here.)

"I did it for the voiceless" how many people took their lives due to universal credit

"not for the privileged few but for everyone." Ring any bells!? A bloody bare faced lie anyway.

even if Italian, the vision of this speech could only provoke in me the deepest affective respect towards your PM; an attachment to her Duty, the whole Country and the Queen - which unfortunately missing too much in Italy - that fully honors her also in her afflicted path

This supposed to be “BREXIT” not “EXIT” 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Politics aside I feel very sorry for her 😢

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 a privileged few, but for everyone. And to honour the result of the EU referendum. Back in 2016, we gave the British people a choice. Against all predictions, the British people voted to leave the European Union. I feel as certain today as I did three years ago that in a democracy, if you give people a choice you have a duty to implement what they decide. I have done my best to do that. I negotiated the terms of our exit and a new relationship with our closest neighbours that protects jobs, our security and our Union. I have done everything I can to convince MPs to back that deal. Sadly, I have not been able to do so. I tried three times. I believe it was right to persevere, even when the odds against success seemed high. But it is now clear to me that it is in the best interests of the country for a new Prime Minister to lead that effort. So I am today announcing that I will resign as leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party on Friday 7 June so that a successor can be chosen. I have agreed with the Party Chairman and with the Chairman of the 1922 Committee that the process for electing a new leader should begin in the following week. I have kept Her Majesty the Queen fully informed of my intentions, and I will continue to serve as her Prime Minister until the process has concluded. It is, and will always remain, a matter of deep regret to me that I have not been able to deliver Brexit. It will be for my successor to seek a way forward that honours the result of the referendum. To succeed, he or she will have to find consensus in Parliament where I have not. Such a consensus can only be reached if those on all sides of the debate are willing to compromise. For many years the great humanitarian Sir Nicholas Winton - who saved the lives of hundreds of children by arranging their evacuation from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia through the Kindertransport - was my constituent in Maidenhead. At another time of political controversy, a few years before his death, he took me to one side at a local event and gave me a piece of advice. He said, 'Never forget that compromise is not a dirty word. Life depends on compromise.' He was right. As we strive to find the compromises we need in our politics - whether to deliver Brexit, or to restore devolved government in Northern Ireland - we must remember what brought us here. Because the referendum was not just a call to leave the EU but for profound change in our country. A call to make the United Kingdom a country that truly works for everyone. I am proud of the progress we have made over the last three years. We have completed the work that David Cameron and George Osborne started: the deficit is almost eliminated, our national debt is falling and we are bringing an end to austerity. My focus has been on ensuring that the good jobs of the future will be created in communities across the whole country, not just in London and the South East, through our Modern Industrial Strategy. We have helped more people than ever enjoy the security of a job. We are building more homes and helping first-time buyers onto the housing ladder - so young people can enjoy the opportunities their parents did. And we are protecting the environment, eliminating plastic waste, tackling climate change and improving air quality. This is what a decent, moderate and patriotic Conservative Government, on the common ground of British politics, can achieve - even as we tackle the biggest peacetime challenge any government has faced. I know that the Conservative Party can renew itself in the years ahead. That we can deliver Brexit and serve the British people with policies inspired by our values. Security; freedom; opportunity. Those values have guided me throughout my career. But the unique privilege of this office is to use this platform to give a voice to the voiceless, to fight the burning injustices that still scar our society. That is why I put proper funding for mental health at the heart of our NHS long-term plan. It is why I am ending the postcode lottery for survivors of domestic abuse. It is why the Race Disparity Audit and gender pay reporting are shining a light on inequality, so it has nowhere to hide. And that is why I set up the independent public inquiry into the tragedy at Grenfell Tower - to search for the truth, so nothing like it can ever happen again, and so the people who lost their lives that night are never forgotten. Because this country is a Union. Not just a family of four nations. But a union of people - all of us. Whatever our background, the colour of our skin, or who we love. We stand together. And together we have a great future. Our politics may be under strain, but there is so much that is good about this country. So much to be proud of. So much to be optimistic about. I will shortly leave the job that it has been the honour of my life to hold - the second female Prime Minister but certainly not the last. I do so with no ill-will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love.

She wasn’t the best PM, but she was dealt a very bad hand and a very unique situation that many would fail in. However, I highly doubt she would have allowed some of the antics that have taken place over the last three years. Her speech compared to Bojo’s speaks volumes. He was never my PM, let’s see what the next few months brings….

Been waiting for this headline for the last 2 years

May cries coz she had to go. Everyone else is in tears coz we thought she'd never go!

I love that she cried

She weren’t that bad after all… boris NEXT!

Don't worry, at least you'll have your dancing skills to fall back on!

I'm not gonna lie I feel for her a little bit. Brexit turned the country into an absolute mess no way she was going to be able to turn that around. At the end of the day, she was dealt a bad hand which she played badly. On that note its looking like Boris is taking over next, I'm really not sure why everyone is celebrating. Seems to me like an 'out of the frying pan and into the fire' situation.

I don't know if she is genuinely crying or so people don't egg her house

Everything that happened in the commons leading up these events seemed crazy and unprecedented. Then 2020 happened

'So more people can enjoy the security of a...' ZERO HOURS CONTRACT

I still believe that Larry the cat should be the next PM.

After Theresa May and Brexit, I've forgotten what but feels like to have a PM that can get things done. I feel like England has done nothing but, roadworks for the past 3 years.

we need a party who will correctly address the housing crisis and how out of touch affordability is for young people who want to buy a home but can't save for a mortgage deposit ffs

The voiceless is the tax payer.

PM resignations! This is getting out of hand Now there are 2 of them

She did the best with the limited choices she had. Great prime minister, bad timing to be prime minister.

Much respect to this lady for her courage and her resilience. Few would have been able to handle so much pressure for so much time. She became PM at a wrong time. Best regards from Mauritius.

Perhaps it's time for a new political system, rather than just new politicians?

I've never been that fond of Theresa May but... She's had an extreamly challenging and testing job to do, whilst trying her best the entire time regardless of result. Isn't that what we're taught everyday... To try our best? That's all we can do.. Is our best. I respect that she's given it her best shot and has stepped down now she's aware it's out of her reach. Personally I think she can walk away with her head held high.

Boris thinking “chaos is a ladder” right now

Get rid of Boris and let her back!

Cries because she lost her job, not because of Grenfell, people driven to foodbanks , universal credit.

Its funny how people don't understand the pressure , when you are in their shoes. Remember, every time when you make decision in life, think how you would feel in that person shoes

Looking back on her now, I do feel bad and wish she ruled at a better time. No one would've survived Brexit, then Covid, then the war. Its extremely challenging. Maybe jf Brexit never happened, things would've been very different and maybe easier.

Finally summer's here end of May 😎😎😎😎

Dont get your hopes up. On the 7th she will give us another speech explaining that she hasnt been able to leave her job

I feel sorry for this lady. She was thrown into a lose/lose situation. Her party have let her down. She has done what she could. Pat Wood NZ

Those tears weren't for herself - they were because she knew what was to be unleashed unto us.

Season 3 starts from June 7 episode 1 (who will new lead role actor??)😄
