Theresa May has finally announced her resignation date
today - after nearly three years of Brexit gridlock.
The struggling, under-fire Prime Minister named a date to quit
after months of pressure.
Allies said Mrs May has penned in the date to avoid the
indignity of being forced out by her MPs.
Mrs May has agreed to resign on June 7 - after a UK State
Visit by Donald Trump and D-Day commemorations are safely over. Her exit will
trigger a Tory leadership contest lasting around six weeks or more.
The frontrunners are led by Boris Johnson - who could steer
Brexit in a dramatically harder direction.
