Her attempts to deliver a Brexit outcome came to nought. Ultimately she was thwarted by about 50 politicians in the ERG and a few in her Cabinet, most notably, Boris Johnson who resigned and helped force her out.
This led to Boris Johnson becoming Prime Minister, democratically voted in by the people of the UK, with a huge majority. Apparently because of 50 politicians, most of whom gave him a standing ovation in the Commons yesterday, he was undemocratically ousted and needs to be reinstated.
Any help you need on 12 years of stability and strong government rather than the chaos that could have ensued, feel free to ask!
