The LBC presenter revealed despite The Times reporting Mrs May will resign on Friday, he believes it won't be as instantaneous as some may hope. Speaking on BBC Newsnight, Mr Dale revealed despite Mrs May reportedly leaving, there still could be conflict on how immediate her departure is. The political commentator insisted if Boris Johnson or Dominic Raab take over as party leader they will want to start their tenure immediately, which might not be what Mrs May intends to do.
Mr Dale added: “Theresa May is unlikely to go immediately.
“I don’t think she will go and David Lidington will take over for a few weeks.
“She will want to stay around for the interim period but nothing will be achieved.
“If a hardline Brexiteer is elected, such as Boris Johnson or Dominic Raab, they’ll want to do their own thing.”
