With Theresa May, his words proved true not just figuratively but literally. As the British prime minister announced on May 24 that she would step down on June 7, observers could see her face consumed with emotion and tears well up in her eyes. It was a bathetic note to end a chaotic, and for many, in glorious, period.展开更多
