The British newspaper "The Guardian" writes today that Deputy Prime Minister David Lidington, who they say is nicknamed "Mr. Europe", could replace the Prime Minister of Great Britain Theresa May, while Reuters reports Lidington's claim that he "doesn't think he has any desire" to do so. .
Dnevnik states that the fact that he advocated for Britain to remain in the European Union in the past could be a problem.
It is recalled that the 63-year-old Lidington, who was minister for Europe in David Cameron's government, took over as May's deputy in January last year and has been one of her most loyal allies in the last chaotic year.
"I don't think I have any desire to take over from the Prime Minister, I think she is doing a fantastic job," Lidington told reporters today.
Reuters reports that he addressed the media following talk of a possible coup in the Conservative Party that would make him interim prime minister.
"One thing that happens when you work closely with the prime minister is that you are completely cured of any lingering shred of ambition to want to do the job," Lidington said.
