Today the PM claimed she had done all she could to take Britain out of the EU with a deal, saying: “Ever since I first stepped through the door behind me as Prime Minister, I have striven to make the United Kingdom a country that works not just for a privileged few, but for everyone. And to honour the result of the EU referendum. “If you give people a choice you have a duty to implement what they decide. I have done my best to do that. “Sadly I have not been able to do so. I tried three times – I believe it was right to persevere even when the odds against success seemed high.” Her voice cracking, she attempted to defend her legacy and insisted she has helped to fix Britain’s “burning injustices”. Mrs May concluded: “I will shortly leave the job it has been the honour of my life to hold – the second female Prime Minister, but certainly not the last. “I do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love.” After her speech, the PM and Philip May drove off to spend the Bank Holiday weekend at their home in Sonning, Berkshire.
