British Prime Minister Theresa May will resign from office on 07 June 2019, a position she assumed on 13 July 2016 determined to 'deliver Brexit'. In order to achieve that - as 'Brexit means Brexit' - and to strengthen her Conservatives party majority in parliament, snap elections were held but resulted in a coalition with the Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). May has failed multiple times to ratify her Withdrawal Agreement, the Brexit deal with the European Union in Parliament, since. The United Kingdom was officially due to leave the European Union (EU) on 29 March 2019 after the British government invoked the EU's Article 50 on 29 March 2017 to start the process dubbed 'Brexit'. A narrow majority of the British people on 23 June 2016 voted in a referendum that the United Kingdom shall leave the European Union. In a recent interview May stated her 'great regret' over not having been able to deliver Brexit. EPA/STR ATTENTION: This Image is part of a PHOTO SET
