British Prime Minister Theresa May says she will quit, opening leadership race and likely paving way for pro-Brexit successor

With little prospect of getting her deal passed, three years after the U.K. voted to leave the bloc, Mrs. May said the race to find her replacement would formally begin after she quits as head of her party on June 7.
