Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May leaves 10 Downing Street for her weekly Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons in London, Wednesday, May 15, 2019. But she agreed to give a timetable next month for her departure, raising the prospect that Britain will get a new prime minister before it leaves the European Union — currently scheduled for Oct. 31. “Following that ... she and I will meet to agree a timetable for the election of a new leader of the Conservative Party,” Brady said. May’s successor will be chosen by a party leadership contest in which any Conservative lawmaker can run. The winner will become party leader and prime minister without the need for a general election.
