Andrea Leadsom has resigned as leader of the UK’s House of Commons, saying she cannot support the prime minister’s Brexit bill. Mrs May faced mounting pressure from her own party to quit or face being ousted, but the UK prime minister insisted “I believe in what I’m doing”. “In time another prime minister will be standing at this despatch box,” she told MPs. British prime minister Theresa May speaks during Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons, London. “The Prime Minister needs to, today, accept that what she announced yesterday isn’t going to work and pull the vote,” he said.
