2:53 pm
mp at the next election. she told her local newspaper in maidenhead she was leaving the commons because she was leaving the commons because she could no longer represent to constituents with the commitment they deserve. around 60 tory mps have already said they won't stand for election. theresa may rose to the top job after the uk vote to leave the european union, one of the most turbulent periods in british political history. brexit was the backdrop to everything her government did. brexit means brexit, and we are going to make a success of it. mrs may has been an mp since 1997. when she became conservative party chairman she called for modernisation and offended some colleagues. you know what some people call us? the nasty party. david cameron and expectedly promoted her to home secretary, a post she held for longer than anyone else in modern times. but as prime minister she faced an even tougher challenge steering the uk and her party through brexit, this most cautious of politicians became one of westminster�*s biggest risk takers.
2:54 pm
and she called an election... big ben chimes. and lost the conservatives their majority. she was still in power but her authority was weakened. after months of negotiations with brussels mrs may agreed withdrawal deal but could not persuade enough mps to back it. the ayes to the right, the noes to the left, 432. mrs may was forced to ask the eu for a delay to brexit, and after months of pressure from her own mps, she decided to step down. i do so with no ill will. but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. in the end of her prime the strip was of course dominated by brexit. she could not get her deal through the conservative party, and i think the country and indeed the conservative party would be in a better place today if it had gone with her deal, and we would have had
2:55 pm
much calmer times. as a backbencher, mrs may hasn't shied away from criticising her successors. this was her view on borisjohnson's behaviour during covid lockdowns. either my right honourable friend had not read the rules, or did not understand what they meant, and other around him, or did not think the rules applied to number 10. which was it? theresa may displayed a steely determination to become britain's second female prime minister. today, friends have praised her decency, dedication and sense of public duty. she says she will now concentrate on her campaigns against modern slavery and human trafficking. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. officials in australia said the great barrier wreath is going through another mass bleaching because the sea temperatures in the pat lewis have been so high. hot weather can cause heat stress corals to expel algae that gives them their life and colour. it is the fifth time in eight years widespread

2:57 pm
in the black circles. it will be particularly blustery across the south—west england with rain arriving here later on through the day. these are the temperatures, it's going to feel colder once you factor in the wind—chill vertically towards the north sea facing costs. overnight tonight they will be more clout than we saw last night so temperatures won't drop as low. we will also see this with a friend lift its way through the northwards bringing outbreaks of rain. a touch of localised frost in the shelter glens of scotland. on saturday low pressure starts to show its hand. it is pushing further northwards and eastwards and it will bring some spells of rain but most of the rain light and patch across wales and england. perhaps across northern ireland and the far south—west of eglin. some brighter skies. we are drawing in a south easterly winds and temperatures in the south—east of england could rise to perhaps 13 or 14 degrees. on sunday we still have that brisk easterly wind and the rain will become more widespread
2:58 pm
so if you are out and about for mother's day on sunday bear in mind they will be more rain around particularly for england and of the northern ireland. but generally across scotland they will be a lot of dry weather and always plenty of cloud and again you have to factor in the wind—chill to some of these temperatures. the wind will be light it into next week. so with those later wins it will feel a bit warmer and a lot of dry weather but still some more showers to come in the forecast and turning milder. goodbye.
