"I am deeply saddened to see the Prime Minister step down from the job she loved.
She is an extremely courageous and dedicated public servant who always does what she believes is in the best interest of the country.
She worked tirelessly to deliver Brexit and we must now come together as a Party and secure a deal as quickly as possible.
I am full of admiration and respect for the Prime Minister's sense of duty and unwavering commitment to public service.”
