		</div><p>Theresa May has faced a direct call from a Conservative MP in the House of Commons to step down and hand over to a new British Prime Minister.</p>
<p>Brexit-backing Andrea Jenkyns told Mrs May that she had “failed” in EU withdrawal negotiations and forfeited the trust of the public.</p>

<p>The full-frontal assault at Prime Minister’s Questions came as pressure increased on Mrs May to name a date for her departure and cross-party Brexit talks with Labour dragged on without a conclusion.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Cabinet minister Andrea Leadsom has said she is “seriously considering” standing for the Conservative leadership.</p>
<p>Ms Leadsom, who stood for the leadership in 2016 but pulled out to give Mrs May a clear run at the job, became the latest senior Tory to indicate she may throw her hat into the ring for the upcoming contest.</p>
<p>The Leader of the Commons said: “I’ve supported her for the last three years to get Brexit over the line. She has said she’s going, so yes I am seriously considering standing.”</p>
<p>Speaking at PMQs in the Commons shortly afterwards, Morley and Outwood MP Ms Jenkyns told MPs it was time for Mrs May to quit.</p>
<p>She&#8217;s tried her best, nobody could fault or doubt her commitment and sense of duty, but she has failed</p>
<blockquote><p>She said: “She’s tried her best, nobody could fault or doubt her commitment and sense of duty, but she has failed.</p></blockquote>
<p>“The public no longer trust her to run Brexit negotiations. Isn’t it time to step aside and let someone else lead our country, our party and the Brexit negotiations?”</p>

<p>Mrs May retorted: “This is not an issue about me and it’s not an issue about her. If it were an issue about me and the way I vote, we would already have left the European Union.”</p>
