May has announced that she will resign on the 7th of June, and the process of electing a new leader will start the following week.
Both a "whooo, yey!" moment, and one of trepidation. The main thing is who replaces her, as I really don't know who actually has the ability. My biggest fear would be one who is happy to leave with no deal, because no deal would be pretty awful.
