She said she had done her best to deliver Brexit and it was a matter of “deep regret” that she had been unable to do so, she made this known in an emotional statement.
“I feel as certain today as I did three years ago that in a democracy, if you give people a choice you have a duty to implement what they decide. I have done my best to do that,” she added. “I have done everything I can to convince MPs to back that deal. Sadly, I have not been able to do so.”
On June 7, Mrs May will stand down formally and leave when successor is chosen.
She would continue to serve as PM while a Conservative leadership contest takes place.
