As we leave the European Union, we will forge a bold new positive role for ourselves in the world.

And we will make Britain a country that works not for a privileged few, but for every one of us.

That will be the mission of the government I lead.

And together we will build a better Britain.

It's the morning of 24 June 2016.

The results are in and the United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union.

On the steps of Downing Street, David Cameron announces his resignation as Prime Minister.

In the race to replace him, Frontrunner Boris Johnson comes undone when his campaign chief Michael Gove announces and he will run as his own candidate.

On the grounds and he does not believe Johnson can do the job.

One by one, the candidate's self-destruct until only one is left standing, Theresa May, the overwhelming choice of the Parliamentary Party and the UK's longest serving home secretary of modern times.

May takes office pledging to prioritise social justice and to deliver Brexit, but her first budget comes unstuck over proposed changes to national insurance contributions.

Days later, despite having won landslide support in Parliament to trigger Article 50, she goes back on her pledge not to go for an early election on the grounds that MPs are blocking Brexit.

The polls predict a huge victory and the local election results point that way too.

But in the campaign that follows, Theresa May struggles badly on the campaign trail and her manifesto alienates many voters.

Come the election instead of gaining seats, she loses 33 and with it her Parliamentary majority.

May survives her election debacle and stays in office thanks to a confidence and supply deal with the Democratic Union this party.

She even manages to negotiate a Brexit deal that takes the United Kingdom out of the European Court of Justice, the common agricultural policy and the common fisheries policy.

But the deal doesn't pass muster among MPs and is defeated by a record-breaking margin.

May brings her deal back to Parliament twice more and enters doomed cross-party talks in a bid to rescue it, but her efforts end in failure.

After leading the party to crushing defeats in the local and European elections, May is forced out by the party.

And Boris Johnson, the man she defeated in 2016, becomes Prime Minister.

I'm John Ledge.
