And so it was that British Prime Minister Theresa May returned to London on Thursday, faced with a barrage of questions about her political future after another Brexit-infused humiliation. The day before, May was forced by European Union leaders to accept a delay of up to six months for the Brits to extract themselves — once and for all — from the European Union. British Prime Minister Theresa May speaks in the House of Commons as she updates lawmakers on Brexit. Acceding to a six-month delay — May really had no choice — gives the prime minister some breathing room. “As prime minister, I am not prepared to delay any further than June 30,” May said last month.
