Time up for Theresa? Odds slashed on PM leaving in 2019
Theresa May’s time as Prime Minister may be coming to an end, according to our latest odds.
The former Home Secretary is now just 8/11 to move out of 10 Downing Street in 2019 – the shortest odds yet.
It’s 5/1 that May goes before the end of this year, while we go 2/1 that she sticks it out until 2020 or later.
