Birmingham, October 3
British Prime Minister Theresa May called on her Conservative Party on Wednesday to unite behind her plan to leave the EU, warning critics their arguments could put Brexit in jeopardy.
On the final day of her party’s conference, May rallied members, trying to address their concerns that the Conservatives are becoming increasingly directionless under the weight of Brexit by calling on them to look to a brighter future.
Dancing onto the stage in the city of Birmingham to ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” and a standing ovation, May poked fun at herself after her dance moves were mocked on a trip to Africa and after last year’s conference when her speech was disrupted by a coughing fit, a stage intruder and a disintegrating set.
With just six months before Britain is due to leave the bloc, she has so far weathered the Brexit storm, shrugging off a barnstorming speech by her former foreign minister Boris Johnson, which did little to hide his leadership ambitions. On Wednesday, she was keen to show she was in charge of the Brexit talks. — Reuters
