Theresa May will resign before next phase of Brexit negotiations, saying she will 'not stand in the way' of a new approach to Brexit negotiations
Conservative MP James Cartlidge, who was at the closed-door meeting, told reporters as he walked out that May had said she would step down before the"next phase" of Brexit negotiations.
Several MPs who voted against the deal have suggested they could now back it if May gave a timetable for her resignation, allowing a new leader to head the negotiations over Britain's future relationship with the EU."I know some people are worried that if you vote for the Withdrawal Agreement, I will take that as a mandate to rush on into phase two without the debate we need to have. I won't - I hear what you are saying," May said.
UK Parliament officials delivered the result of the Brexit vote to the House of Commons earlier this month.Three years of political turmoil that followed Britain's decision to break its near half-century bond with the EU were meant to have ended on Friday with the formal completion of the divorce.
