INTERVIEW – RAHEEM KASSAM – Editor-in-Chief of Human Events
- Theresa May says she’ll quit as Conservative leader June 7. British Prime Minister Theresa May announced Friday that she will resign — ending her months-long struggle to keep her job despite seething anger from her own Conservative Party over her handling of Brexit. “I believe it was right to persevere even when the odds against success seemed high. But it is now clear to me that it is in the best interests of the country for a new prime minister to lead that effort,” she said outside 10 Downing Street.
- Raheem Kassam @RaheemKassam: Theresa May did indeed serve the thing she loved. With duty, and steadfastness, and resolve. It’s just a shame that thing was the European Union, not Britain.
- European elections polls: Brexit Party forecast to win the most votes. With the public having voted in the European Parliament elections on Thursday, the last polls (taken before voting day) show that Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party was likely to gain the most votes in the UK. Although the vote took place in the UK on Thursday, the results are not expected until Sunday evening due to most other EU member states casting their votes that day. The Conservatives are on course for their lowest ever share of the vote in a nationwide ballot and could even slip into fifth place behind the Greens.
