British Prime Minister Theresa May has vowed that she will quit if they back her Brexit agreement in the House of Commons.

“I am prepared to leave this job earlier than I intended in order to do what is right for our country and our party,”said May, who pointed out that she understands that Conservative MPs did not want her to lead the next phase of Brexit negotiations, adding, “and I won’t stand in the way of that”.

May did not name a departure date at a packed meeting of the Conservative Private Members’ Committee.

“We need to get the deal through and deliver Brexit,” May told her MPs. “I ask everyone in this room to back the deal so we can complete our historic duty – to deliver on the decision of the British people and leave the European Union with a smooth and orderly exit.”
