Theresa May will not stand as an MP in the next election

Former British Prime Minister Theresa May will step down as an MP at the next parliamentary elections after 27 years in parliament, the Guardian reported.
The Maidenhead MP said she wanted to focus on causes close to her heart, including her work on the Global Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.
"Since stepping down as Prime Minister, I am delighted to be back as an MP and have more time to work for my constituents and champion causes close to my heart, including the recent establishment of the Global Commission on Modern Slavery and Trafficking of people," said May, who was first elected in 1997.
"These causes are taking up more and more of my time. For this reason, after much careful consideration and consideration, I have realized that, looking forward, I will no longer be able to do my job as an MP in the way that I think is right and that my constituents deserve." , she added.
May, 67, has been a consistent campaigner against modern slavery and human trafficking and launched her global commission in October, backed by the governments of the UK and Bahrain.
She was first elected MP for Maidenhead in 1997 and served as Home Secretary under David Cameron between 2010 and 2016 before succeeding him as Prime Minister.
Her tenure at Downing Street lasted a tumultuous three years and was dominated by the Brexit controversy. During the early elections in 2017, she lost her majority, but remained in office thanks to an agreement with the Unionist Party in Northern Ireland./BGNES
