British PM May is not considering resigning after ruined speech, Sky says

LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May is not considering resigning, Sky news reported on Thursday, citing her Downing Street office. "Downing Street: Resignation is not an issue," Sky said on its screen. A spokesman for PM May did not comment on the report. A spokesman for the Conservative Party did not comment. May’s bid to reassert her dwindling authority was ruined on Wednesday when her keynote speech was interrupted by repeated coughing fits, a prankster, and even letters of her slogan falling off the set behind her.
