Brace yourself
After her address in Downing Street, Theresa May is still in the thick of the Brexit battle.
The UK is on tenterhooks after prime minister Theresa May delivered a news conference following her most turbulent day in office to date. Many suspected that a hastily arranged evening news conference would see May throwing in the towel but she emerged with an address restating her commitment to see Brexit through. Exactly how remains a mystery. Resignations, dissent and her deeply divided Conservative party cast doubt on her ability to convince the House of Commons to pass her Brexit agreement. “We have a prime minister who has boxed herself in and left herself absolutely no room for manoeuvre,” says Lance Price, former communications director for Tony Blair, on The Briefing. May – along with the rest of the UK – is running out of options.
