Theresa May Gives Maiden Speech Outside Downing Street as new PM

Description

Leader of Conservative Party Theresa May spoke outside the Houses of Parliament in London, Wednesday, as she became the UKâ€™s Prime Minister. May became the presumptive leader of the Tory Party after her final rival for the leadership, Andrea Leadsom, backed by many of the Eurosceptic MPs, withdrew from the leadership race on Monday. May was first elected as Member of Parliament of Maidenhead in 1997 and the UK's Home Secretary in 2010. She became Britain's second female prime minister after Margaret Thatcher.
