Theresa May's legacy will be her Brexit failure

ABC  

Theresa May, known for her doggedness and steely determination, cast a very lonely shadow outside of 10 Downing Street as she announced she would be leaving the job that had been "the honour of her life to hold". That was the moment that any support she had left was lost; Commons leader Andrea Leadsom quit, becoming the 36th minister to do so in the less than three years of Mrs May's prime ministership. Following Thatcher, May's legacy will be understated Mrs May never enjoyed the full support of her party when it came to passing her Brexit deal. May became just another casualty in the Brexit process Mrs May's leadership started and ended with uncertainty about Britain's post-Brexit future. No one argues that executing Brexit would be easy, or even achievable, but in the end for Mrs May it was her leadership decisions that led to her Cabinet losing faith and ultimately to her own demise.
