Hello, Theresa May has announced that she is resigning as a conservative MP.

She will not be fighting the general election.

Here is how she sounded last time she

resigned as Prime Minister in 2019. I will shortly leave the job that it has

been the honor of my life to hold. The second female Prime Minister, but certainly not the last. I do

so with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity

to serve the country I love. A very powerful moment and I think I've said this on newscast before but it's such a contested moment as well because here was a woman who was

criticized for never showing her emotions showing her emotions for which she was criticized and some some people said it was in pure taste because the only time

she showed emotions was for herself, but then other people said she was actually crying

because of Britain,

or actually was it just a human being

who'd been put under so much pressure,

whether it was Brexit, ructions in her own party,

a chemical weapons attack on British soil by Russia,

Granfell Tower, which happened just after she squeaked in in the election that she'd called that she might not have had to call.

Was it years of just having to not be herself? And then you realize that whole Theresa

A story is just absolutely fascinating and we'll dig into that today.

I have to say that I think my the clip from me that will stick in my mind forever of Theresa May

is when she was party chairman in the early noughties and she said to her own party,

you know what they call us, the nasty party.

Our base is too narrow and so occasionally are our sympathies.
