Speaking after her resignation, the former MP declared she had no regrets about fighting to remain in the EU.
She said: “I don’t regret trying to save our children’s future in Europe
“I’m proud in this election to have fought for what millions of people in this country believe is best for our country – remaining in the European Union.
“I don’t regret trying – because the prize was to save our future – our children’s future in Europe.”
Currently, it is unclear as to who will replace her, but prospective frontrunners are emerging.
