The Rise and Fall of Theresa May | NowThis

Theresa May relinquishes her leadership of the UK Conservative Party tomorrow - here’s what you should know about her legacy.

In world news now and Brexit news today, the Theresa May resignation (Brexit related) is set to happen today June 7. We recently saw the Theresa May resignation speech signaling to the UK and the world that the conservative leader would be stepping down.
Theresa May resigned from office on a bitter note ,her tenure dominated by what was largely regarded as failure after failure in the drama of one of the most divisive, confusing, and heavily-covered news events of the past couple years: the country’s impending exit from the European Union.
In the years since the Brexit vote, May has negotiated with parliament and the EU in an effort to arrange a deal that both sides would agree on. Resultantly, every deal she’s attempted to pass has failed.
In March 2019, she even offered to resign if the latest version of her deal passed. It didn’t.
It’s also worth noting that not long after the Brexit vote, she became the first world leader to meet with U.S. President Trump after his inauguration, and despite hopes of a U.S. - UK trade deal that would offset the losses of leaving the EU - she didn’t really establish a rapport with Trump.

Reality is she took a job no one wanted. She was set to “fail” from the very beginning. Anyone in her position would have met the same fait because parliament handicapped her every step of the way. I’m glad this video does a fair look on her legacy

[@formhubfar]

Her legacy?.., turning the words strong and stable into weak and wobbly?

[@thomasp.crenshaw185]

Yes good point. It was a very uphill battle from the start and sadly I think many in the Torries knew that her tenure would be short

[@wilverbal]

Well, no. She inherited from her predecessor a narrow majority of seats in the House of Commons, then she called an election that she could've easily won with a much increased majority, and then she threw it away with poor decisions. If she hadn't bungled the 2017 election, she would've had a Parliament with way more MPs supporting her agenda. She wasn't a victim of circumstances. She was a victim of her own poor judgment. Also, plenty of people wanted the job, not "no one."

Well, this is for non-UK viewers. You kinda cracked the case.

[@elliotsodergren2270]

You're right

[@Deannkns]

The video failed to give a balanced view on May's time as PM. There is no mention of Grenfell or Windrush, increase in poverty and homelessness etc etc.

[@mazibukomail]

I hear you but that would have happened under any conservative PM, this vid purely focused on her unique failures and successes.

[@Af0restp3rson]

I feel bad for her . but she had all the odds against her 😔

[@paptapto22]

You should have played in full what Owen Jones said at the end, he summed up the stark reality of life for the disadvantaged and poor under the conservatives, 10 thousand disabled people dead for starters...

[@rustypart8676]

David Cameron has a lot to answer to for this. As soon as we voted exit he bottled it and disappeared He’s the one that let us all down and scurried off

[@dontbetonit813]

Didn't he say he did not agree with Brexit and therefore would not be the one to negotiate an exit? If he was pro Brexit and then left I could see that he let you down but he wasn't.

[@rustypart8676]

Don't Bet on It He was our prime minister at that time don’t forget! He got a result that he didn’t want and in my eyes he clearly slopped off He’s made a couple of comments backing May but honestly truthfully can you say he’s?????

[@rustypart8676]

Pan-European Soviet Marxist-Leninist But also mrs may was remain and vocal about it aswell Cameron was our prime minister and he should have gone with the result whatever the outcome He obviously new it was a tough battle ahead but in my opinion ran away Ask yourself this, knowing what we now know about the E.U. Would you join in or out that’s the question???

[@sparticuzj19]

Cameron was a remain supporter that’s why he left.

[@AlexAckerl]

you forgot to mention she triggered a snap election in 2017 due to favourable polls but lost her majority, which is why she never got her Brexit deal passed.

[@shivashishjaiswal9685]

Lol yup

[@tig3662]

I think people are way too quick to judge her. She didn't have a chance to really do anything but get Brexit sorted.

[@rmmm71709]

I'm an American it just seems crazy that she won the Prime Minister roll be her opponent dropping out. Was there only one opponent? I was under the impression every party puts forth a potential like Lord Buckethead. But, man Idk how I would have dealt with it either. I don't support it but I must do the will of the people. Must be a terrible position to be in. I would have pushed for referendum instead of any deals. because the majority of UK's voters didn't even vote, correct?

[@alvinsoehendrywijaya]

You cant revote when things go bad like if they revote now. Then why not revote in future it will set chain of revote all over. The only things she can do is brexit then after some years refendum again. To join in or not.

[@ImranKhan1976]

Her opponents for the role of Prime Minister were squabbling and backstabbing each other - Theresa May looked sensible and mature by contrast. So she easily got the position of Prime Minister as her rivals had ruined themselves by what was seen as clumsy attempts to became leader.

What's with the square video?

[@dontbetonit813]

I would not say it was much of a rise. She took over after Cameron stepped down and went downhill after that.

[@formhubfar]

The rise?.., ffs give yourself a shake!

@@sierraromeoromeo2444 She was always pro EU and it showed in the end, the UK had a referendum and if she was any kind of leader she would have done it regardless of the consequences, its what the people voted for!
