Tough-talking Theresa May a unifying PM post-Brexit ?

London

BRITAIN'S tough-talking interior minister Theresa May has avoided the Conservative party in-fighting that dominated the European Union (EU) referendum campaign, making her a strong contender to replace leader David Cameron as premier.

Although a long-standing eurosceptic and hard-liner on immigration, Mrs May declared herself officially in favour of Britain staying in the EU - but kept a low profile during the divisive referendum campaign.
