#May 'not considering resigning after ruined speech'
Prime Minister Theresa May is not considering resigning, Sky news reported on Thursday (5 October), citing her Downing Street office.
After one of the worst conference speeches in a generation, the knives - editorial and political - are out for Prime Minister Theresa May this morning (5 October).
UK headlines riff mercilessly on her coughing fit and dysfunctional stage set: 'May’s British dream turns into a nightmare', 'Luckless May centre stage in tragic farce', 'May on final warning after speech shambles', 'Last gasp', 'What the F?'. If The Times is to be believed, her performance has triggered renewed chatter about her future as party leader and PM. That may be true - but the existing logic still holds: if not her, who else?
However Sky, on its screen, said: “Downing Street: Resignation is not an issue”.
A spokesman for PM May did not comment on the report. A spokesman for the Conservative Party did not comment either.
May’s bid to reassert her dwindling authority was ruined on Wednesday when her keynote speech was interrupted by repeated coughing fits, a prankster, and even letters of her slogan falling off the set behind her.
