THERESA May's time as Prime Minister came to an end on July 24, 2019, and she was reelected in the recent General Election.

She was forced to quit after her Brexit deal failed to win the backing of MPs – but what has she been up to since?

When did Theresa May stand down as PM?

Mrs May announced she was resigning as Prime Minister in a tearful statement outside 10 Downing Street on May 24.

She remained leader of the Conservative Party until June 7 and as a lame duck Prime Minister until July 23 when Boris Johnson took over.

On July 24, Mrs May addressed the public, saying: "I will continue to do all I can to serve the national interest, and play my part in making our United Kingdom a great country with a great future – a country that truly works for everyone."

Since then she has largely kept out of the public eye and kept silent about her successor’s handling of Brexit.

In her final days as PM, the cricket lover welcomed England’s victorious World Cup winning team to Downing Street.
