May said she would step down as Conservative Party leader on June 7, triggering a contest that will bring a new prime minister to power who is likely to push for a more decisive Brexit divorce deal. “From my perspective, I don’t see the European Union offering any new prime minister a better or very different deal to what was on offer to Theresa May,” Coveney told Ireland’s Newstalk radio station.
Coveney has been saying this week that the chance of Britain leaving the EU without a deal was now higher than at any time during the negotiations, although he said he still believed a smooth exit with an agreement was more likely.
