Cheer up May you have out lasted Gordon Brown that must count for something. Moving on to the candidates I wait to see the whole list before making a comment on them. And finally May took it to the wire and went just before being pushed not a good thing, she should had left after loosing the second withdraw vote.

Timeline of next steps
The Conservative Party has set out the timeline of its next steps.

Mrs May will step down as Conservative Party leader on 7 June.

After that, nominations among MPs for the next leader will close in the week beginning 10 June, the party says.

Rounds of voting will take place until the candidates are narrowed down to a final two.

"We expect that process to be concluded by the end of June, allowing for a series of hustings around the UK for members to meet and question the candidates, then cast their votes in time for the result to be announced before Parliament rises for the summer," the party statement added.

Now reported on the slow coach BBC Yawn News.

Snippet from the BBC News. At least she had better words to say than old bitter Jezzer.

Brussels honours May by putting flags on half mast - Brussel has just lost its by far best agent in the enemy's capital. She will be hard to replace. Rarely before has the EU ever owed so much to just one single person.

I can agree to a certain extent but do admit to feeling a little sympathy and empathy at the end of her resignation speech.
