A legacy of failure: Theresa May was a disaster as Prime Minister, writes LukeMcGee
London Brexit has destroyed another British Prime Minister.
Three years after voters in the UK mandated their government to take Britain out of the European Union, Theresa May's failure to do so has finally caught up with her. "I have done my best," she said in an emotional statement on the steps of Downing Street. But as she admitted, it wasn't enough.It always seems to end like this for leaders of May's Conservative Party, divided for years over Britain's relationship with the European Union.
Theresa May is"desperate," says Alastair Campbell 05:42While her new position as the defender of Brexit Britain won her some friends, it put off those who wanted a softer Brexit or no Brexit at all. But May and her advisors didn't seem to realize how she was seen outside of the Brexit bubble.This new confidence led to May and her inner circle making their first catastrophic mistake.
The return of Brexit's Nigel Farage 02:25Unintentionally, this hit a generation of immigrants from the Caribbean, who came to the UK in the post-war years to make up for a shortage in the workforce. Many of them were without paperwork and suddenly faced the threat of deportation, despite having lived in the country for decades.Public outrage once again made May look out of touch and unsympathetic.
Why divisions in the UK run much deeper than Brexit 03:26May had a problem. She needed to fill these positions with safe pairs of hands while retaining the Remain/Leave balance in cabinet. Dominic Raab, another prominent Tory would take over as Brexit Secretary.Things calmed down for a bit and May was able to celebrate a huge victory on November 14, as news broke that an agreement had been reached with the EU.
