She made her resignation announcement on Thursday, outside No 10 Downing Street.
SOLACEBASE reports that her resignation came after just 44 days in office as PM.

A leadership election for MPs to select her successor will be “completed within the next week,” she added.
She took office only six weeks ago after Boris Johnson’s resignation.
