Theresa May
-
Theresa May (born 1956) was the Prime Minister of the UK from 2016 to 2019.
-
She became the Prime Minister following David Cameron's resignation after the 2016 EU referendum.
-
Her government focused on delivering Brexit and dealing with the new political landscape that was taking place following the referendum.
-
May called a snap general election in 2017, which resulted in a hung parliament and a minority Conservative government supported by the DUP.
-
She faced significant challenges in Parliament over her Brexit deal, leading to repeated defeats. She was not exactly popular to say the least.
-
May resigned in 2019 after failing to secure support for her Brexit plan. Her time as Prime Minister was recognised as a period of political instability due to uncertainty surrounding Brexit.
