announced on Friday that she will quit as a lawmaker when an election is called this year, ending a 27-year parliamentary career that included three years as the nation's leader during a period roiled by Brexit.
Brexit ultimately derailed her premiership, and she quit as party leader and prime minister in mid-2019 after repeatedly failing to get her divorce deal with the EU through a bitterly divided Parliament. She also had tense relations with then-US President Donald Trump, who accused her of "making a mess" of Brexit.
