Britain's May will still be PM at year end: finance minister

Britain's May will still be PM at year end: finance minister

PanARMENIAN.Net - Theresa May will still be British leader at the end of this year, finance minister Philip Hammond said on Thursday, June 22, according to Reuters.

May's future is unclear after her botched gamble on a snap election left her Conservative Party short of a majority in parliament.

Asked by BBC television if he believed May would remain premier into 2018, despite presiding over a minority government, Hammond replied: "Yes I do."

"I would remind you that when we formed the coalition (with the Liberal Democrats) in 2010 people... were saying then 'Oh it won't last till Christmas'. But it proved extraordinarily resilient," Hammond said.
