London: Theresa May will still be British leader at the end of this year, finance minister Philip Hammond said on Thursday.
May's future is unclear after her botched gamble on a snap election left her Conservative Party short of a majority in parliament.
Asked by BBC television if he believed May would remain premier into 2018, despite presiding over a minority government, Hammond replied: "Yes I do."
