Theresa May has promised she will quit as the British prime minister once her Brexit deal is delivered. Mrs May made the promise in an address to Conservative MPs in parliament.
Her move is a last-gasp attempt to persuade her own party to back her EU withdrawal agreement, which has already been twice heavily defeated in the House of Commons. Mrs May told a gathering of the Tories' 1922 committee: 'I am prepared to leave this job earlier than I intended in order to do what is right for our country and our party.'
