May speaks of her 'pride and disappointment' as British PM

London - May spoke of "frustration" at not seeing Brexit through and underestimating how "entrenched" MPs had become.

In her last television interview as the British Prime Minister, Theresa May said that she would feel a "mixture of pride and disappointment" when she leaves Downing Street in 12 days' time.
In the BBC interview on Friday, May spoke of "frustration" at not seeing Brexit through and underestimating how "entrenched" MPs had become.
The outgoing leader, who will remain in parliament as MP for Maidenhead after leaving Downing Street, said she had achieved an "enormous amount" in three years in the job, but was sorry having to leave when "there was more that I wanted to do".
May and her husband Philip will depart Downing Street on July 24, after being succeeded as prime minister by either Boris Johnson or Jeremy Hunt.
Interviewed in 10 Downing Street, May told the BBC she "didn't recognise" herself in criticisms that have been made of her personality and leadership. But, despite having to go earlier than she wanted, May insisted she had been the "right person" for the job and was "immensely proud" of what she had accomplished.
Asked if she could have done more to persuade MPs to back her Brexit deal with the EU, which they rejected three times, she replied: "One could always look back and say, 'If I'd sat down and talked to people more often'."
