Theresa May offers to resign before 'next phase' of negotiations as MPs debate Brexit

British Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday told Conservative MPs that she would step down before the "next phase" of Brexit negotiations.

She, however, did not name a departure date at the at the ruling party's influential 1922 Committee meeting.

James Cartlidge, one of the MPs present at the private meeting at Westminster in London, told reporters, "She (May) said she would not remain in post for the next phase of the negotiations, the implication being that once the Withdrawal Agreement has passed, she would make way for someone else."
