MOSCOW (Sputnik) — UK Prime Minister Theresa May cannot negotiate the country's exit from the European Union, as her authority has been "destroyed," former leader of the Labour Party Ed Miliband said on Friday as exit polls from the general election showed the Conservative Party falling short of an outright majority in the parliament.
"We know Theresa May can't now negotiate Brexit for Britain because she told us losing majority would destroy her authority — and it has," Miliband wrote on his official Twitter account.
