WASHINGTON POST: Theresa May to resign, make way for new prime minister, after Brexit failures

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

“It’s quite extraordinary given that two to three years ago, the vast majority of Conservative MPs would have regarded a no-deal Brexit as impossible or highly irresponsible,” said Rob Ford, a political scientist at the University of Manchester. “Now, it’s unlikely you’d be elected as the next prime minister without some level of commitment to that approach.”
