Speaking to BBC News, the staunch supporter of Brexit, who called for Theresa May to resign since her deal was rejected for the third time by the Commons, claimed the Prime Minister should have delivered on the Brexit vote by leaving the EU on March 29 without a deal. He said: “She could have been a national hero if she had kept to her word when she said we would leave the European Union on the 29th of March.

“I think she said that 108 times in the House of Commons.

“If she left with no deal on the 29th of March – and it was her decision alone not to do that – she would have delivered the Brexit everyone voted for.

“She chose not to do that and I think from that point on it was inevitable that she would not serve for much longer.”

The Prime Minister broke down in tears as she announced her departure as Prime Minister in an emotional speech to the world on Friday morning.

The Prime Minister had no choice but to resign after a Cabinet revolt over her latest Brexit plan and the delay of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill (WAB).

Mrs May said: “It is and will always remain a matter of deep regret to me that I have not been able to deliver Brexit.”

The Prime Minister ended the speech in tears as she spoke about the country “I love”. 

Mrs May began tearing up and her voice broke as she ended her speech and said: “I will shortly leave that has been the honour of my life to hold.

“The second female prime minister but certainly not the last.”

Before walking off in tears, Mrs May added: “I do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love.”

Mrs May’s chief of staff Gavin Barwell wrote on Twitter: “As the PM’s Chief of Staff for the last two years, I have seen at first hand her commitment to public service and her incredible resilience as she has confronted the biggest challenge any British Government has faced since the Second World War.

“It has been an honour to serve her.”

Mr Bone claimed former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson would be the best person to replace Theresa May and renegotiate with Brussels to deliver on the Brexit referendum result.
