<p>She will stay on as Prime Minister until a successor has been elected. The process of selecting the next Prime Minister will begin the week after Mrs May steps down as Conservative leader.</p>
<p>A tearful Mrs May said she had “done my best” to get her Withdrawal Agreement through Parliament and take the UK out of the European Union but acknowledged she had failed.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>“It is and will always remain a matter of deep regret to me that I have not been able to deliver Brexit,” she said in Downing Street.</p>
<p>Watched by husband Philip and her closest aides, an emotional Mrs May said it was in the “best interests of the country for a new prime minister to lead that effort”.</p>
<p>Announcing her departure from a job she loved, Mrs May said: “I am today announcing that I will resign as leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party on Friday 7th June so that a successor can be chosen.”</p>
<p>Concluding her resignation statement, Mrs May broke down as she said it had been “the honour of my life” to serve “the country that I love”.</p>

<p>Earlier, in a sign that the leadership race to replace Mrs May is already under way, Helen Grant quit as Conservative vice chair for communities to “actively and openly” support Dominic Raab.</p>
<p>She quit her Tory party role to avoid any “perception of a conflict” between Mr Raab’s campaign and Conservative HQ”.</p>
<p>Ms Grant said the former British Brexit secretary “has an inspiring vision for a fairer Britain and I think he is undoubtedly the best person to unite the Conservative Party and our country”.</p>
