NIGEL Farage has stuck the knife into Theresa May after she resigned as PM - saying she was doomed to fail from the start as she's a Remainer.

The Brexit Party boss said she misjudged the mood of the country and her own party, just minutes after she revealed she would leave No10.

As Tories pulled their support from her and said they just couldn't stomach her new Brexit deal, she finally took the decision to say she would quit as Tory leader on 7 June, but would stay as PM until a new one is found.

Today Mr Farage blasted her for running to be PM in the first place, as a Remainer would always have failed in the task of delivering Brexit.

"Two Tory leaders have now gone whose instincts were pro-EU. Either the party learns that lesson or it dies."

The Brexit Party boss is on track to storm the EU elections when the results come in at the weekend.
