May to clarify resignation timetable soon: senior MP
British Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to set out her departure plans within days, the leader of backbench lawmakers in her governing Conservative Party said Saturday. Graham Brady, who chairs the 1922 Committee of rank-and-file Conservative MPs, said he expected May to provide clarity on her exit timetable at a meeting with him on Wednesday. May has said she will step aside once a Brexit deal has been passed by parliament. But the clamour for her to go sooner increased after the May 2 English local elections. The Conservatives lost control of several local authorities and well over a thousand seats, performing far worse than even the gloomiest predictions as voters vented their frustration over the Brexit impasse. May has agreed to meet Brady on Wednesday over her resignation plans.
