The Prime Minister will quit her job in the summer – just weeks after Brexit – according to members of her inner circle.
The Conservative leader will call the leadership contest shortly after leaving the European Union, The Sun reports.
According to Cabinet ministers the Prime Minister has hinted to them personally she will trigger a Tory leadership race to end at the party’s annual conference in October.
A source close to Liam Fox, told The Sun May’s good friend, the current International Trade Secretary, believes she will go after the deadline on March 29.
A senior Tory source told The Sun: ‘Liam is convinced she’ll go this summer. He says everything the PM has told him suggests that.
‘She’s determined to ensure the right person follows her, and she’ll have no say at all if it gets to the stage of forcing her out.’
Trade Secretary Liam Fox reportedly told friends Mrs May has hinted she will leave after March 29 – when Brexit has passed the deadline
