Theresa May steps down.


And on time!

British Prime Minister Theresa May stepped down as leader of the governing Conservatives on Friday, officially triggering a contest to replace her that could see her party embrace a tougher stance on Brexit.

Theresa May announced she would step down last month after failing to deliver Britain's departure from the European Union on time, deepening a political crisis in a divided country struggling to move on from a 2016 referendum on Brexit.

She will continue to work as prime minister until her party elects a new leader, a crowded race that will be defined by Brexit and competing approaches on how to deliver Britain's biggest foreign policy shift in more than 40 years.

"For the remainder of her time in office, she will be building on the domestic agenda that she has put at the heart of her premiership," her spokeswoman told reporters.
Those pesky "domestic agendas". They're such an endless to-do list.

I wonder if she ever found that charming Brexit chap?

And she's gone...Theresa May resigns.

BBC: Theresa May resigns over Brexit: What happened?
In an emotional statement outside her office in Downing St, Mrs May finally announced she was stepping down as prime minister.

She will quit as Conservative party leader on 7 June but will stay in office until a successor is found.
 So...June 7th plus one second?

John Bercow: "Orrrrdddeeeerrrrr!"

I didn't know his name on one of the previous posts on Brexit and couldn't find the specific post looking through my tags. Way too much work.

Anyway, now I know; he's John Bercow, UK Parliament Speaker.

As I wrote in the post that I couldn't find, this guy gotta be a Monty Python fan. And I could listen to him all day long.

Our elected Libs need a lecture from Mr. Bercow on manners.

"Learn the art of patience...Deploy Zen."
