The prime minister has said she is “not a quitter” and wants to lead the Conservatives in the next election. Asked in an interview with Sky News, May expressed her desire to continue to lead the party and said: “I’m in this for the long term.”
Some senior Tories have cast doubt on whether May would be able to fight another election, with previous reports suggesting she would step down in 2019 after Brexit. Lord Heseltine, speaking on BBC Radio 4’s The World Tonight, said: “The long term is the difficult one for Theresa May because I don’t think she’s got a long term”.
